Other points to consider:
Disclaimers
and
disclosures must be clear and conspicuous. That is, consumers must be able to notice, read or hear, and
understand the information. Still, a disclaimer or disclosure alone usually is not enough to remedy a false or
deceptive claim.
·
Demonstrations
must show how the
product will perform under normal use.
·
Refunds
must be made to
dissatisfied consumers if you promised to make them.
·
Advertising directed
to children raises special issues. That's
because children may have greater difficulty evaluating advertising claims and understanding the nature of the
information you provide. Sellers should take special care not to misrepresent a product or its performance when
advertising to children. The Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus
has published specific guidelines for children's advertising that you may find helpful.
