The FTC is showing concern with deceptive advertising of a subjective nature. The author discusses recent cases in which the potential for deception has been found to exist when an advertiser used visual and verbal cues to imply that a product possessed certain features which, in reality, it did not. Guidelines which apply concepts from the behavioral sciences are suggested for regulating implied and subjective advertising claims.
