Product and Earnings Claims in the Time of COVID-19
The FTC has recently sent warning letters to hundreds of companies for allegedly falsely implying that products can be used to treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent COVID-19. The FTC has also issued warning letters for implied earnings claims connected to the pandemic, alleging that some have overpromised on the financial opportunities available and misleadingly tied them to the pandemic. These announcements have made clear that any claim mentioning COVID-19, the pandemic, or even “these times” will be closely scrutinized.
To help ensure your company isn’t next, please join us for a webinar covering the basics of advertising product and earnings claims, and how those should be applied during the pandemic. Discussion topics include:
