Consumer Protection


Welcome



The Consumer Protection Committee monitors and reports on developments in the law of false and deceptive advertising, unfair trade practices and illegal marketing. These developments often include cases brought by private litigants, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state attorneys general, as well as consumer class actions, competitor suits under Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, and decisions by the Better Business Bureau's National Advertising Division (NAD). Our focus also includes promotion marketing law, with recent emphasis on online sweepstakes. We work closely with the Private Advertising Litigation and Privacy and Information Security committees. Through its publications, programs and communications, the Consumer Protection Committee is your best source for consumer protection information.
