(For teacher's reference:A representation,omission or practice is deceptive if it is likely to mislead consumers and affect consumers'behavior or decisions about the product or service.An act or practice is unfair if the injury it causes,or is likely to cause,is substantial not outweighed by other benefits and not reasonably avoidable.In addition,claims must be substantiated,especially when they concern health,safety,or performance.The type of evidence may depend on the product,the claims,and what experts believe necessary.If your ad specifies a certain level of support for a claim- "tests show X"-you must have at least that level of support). Notice different terms relating to promotion. Definition of Promotion: Promotion keeps the product in the minds of the customer and helps stimulate demand for the product.Promotion involves ongoing advertising and publicity (mention in the press).The ongoing activities of advertising,sales and public relations are often considered aspects of promotions.
