The Magnuson Moss Act:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Magnuson Moss Act primarily authorized the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to issue trade regulation rules, enhancing its regulatory authority, particularly in areas affecting consumer products and warranties. It did not specifically authorize the Food and Drug Administration to regulate advertising, allow the Department of Justice to regulate advertising for the first time, authorize the FTC to regulate advertising for the first time, or ban deceptive advertising for the first time. The FTC had already been involved in regulating advertising before the Magnuson Moss Act, and deceptive advertising was already subject to regulation under earlier laws and FTC actions.
