What is misleading advertising?
Under the Consumer Protection Act 2007, advertising is seen as misleading if it involves false, misleading or deceptive information that is likely to cause the average consumer to act in a way they might otherwise not. Advertising may also be considered misleading if important information that the average consumer needs to make an informed decision is left out. Misleading advertising covers claims made directly to consumers by manufacturers, distributors and retailers, as well as in advertisements, catalogues, websites etc.Examples of misleading advertising
A false claim about the characteristics of the goods or service, e.g. – a product is a different colour, size or weight to what is advertised.
The price or way the price is calculated is misrepresented, e.g. – products are advertised at sale prices, but turn out not to be.
The way the goods or service are supplied is misrepresented, e.g. – free delivery is advertised, but the delivery actually involves some sort of fee or charge.
Any aspect about the advertiser is misrepresented, e.g. – the business is presented as being a member of a trade association, when they are actually not.
The advertisement creates a false impression about a product or service, even if the information given is correct.
Any important information is hidden or left out.
