Off Giving Thanks

Barring an advertising or privacy law emergency, like you, we’ll be taking the next few days off to give thanks and spend time with family. Next week, please join us for:

• Made in USA claims – navigating FTC’s ‘all or virtually all’ standard WebinarConsumers continue to demand goods manufactured in the United States and will pay a premium for such products. At the same time, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) continues its high-profile focus on US origin claims, launching dozens of investigations, announcing various noteworthy settlements and advocating for a proposed rule that would include the possibility of civil penalties over $43,000 per violation. This webinar will explore Made in USA claims and discuss:
  • What types of claim have attracted regulatory attention;
  • How to comply with the FTC’s requirements; and
  • What to do if the FTC contacts you.
