B) There is no violation in this case, until it can be proven that someone has been misled.
C) The representation made by the manufacturer constitutes mere "sales talk," and is therefore not a violation of law.
D) Assuming that the manufacturer's representation is likely to mislead a reasonable consumer, the claim is false and misleading.
