Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deceptive or misleading advertisements are those that lead a substantial number of people or the "typical person" to have a false impression or misrepresentation about the product. The advertisement may induce someone to make a purchase, but that is not the sole criteria for determining whether it is deceptive or misleading. The existence of a competing firm or the number of people influenced by the advertisement is also not relevant in this context.
