SOCIAL TOUCH
Case Summary:
The Federal Trade Commission.
Methods used for remedying descriptive
advertisements.
Listerine Claim “Prevents, cures or alleviates symptoms
of colds and sore throats”.
FTC’s conclusion & actions against the claims made by
Listerine.
Challenge on FTC decision in court by Warner-
Lambert.
Factors cited by court of Appeals in support of FTC.
Listerine & Corrective Advertising
Questions:-
1. Was the FTC justified in issuing the corrective advertising order for
Listerine? Are different First Amendment issues raised by “cease and
desist,” “ affirmative disclosure,” and “corrective advertising” orders?
2. Might Warner-Lambert cite the fact that consumers continued to
purchase Listerine as evidence that consumers did not believe the
false claims? Might they claim that a cease and desist order and
market forces alone would end the mistaken beliefs by consumers?
3. The Court ruled that the phrase “contrary to prior advertising” would
“humiliate” Warner-Lambert and could be required only if the FTC
could show that there was an “egregious case of deliberate
deception.” Do you agree with this decision?
