False Advertising

Sometimes companies are guilty of false advertising. False advertising is untrue information that is given to people to make them buy a product. For example, have you ever seen a picture of a product in an advertisement, but when you went to the store the product did not look as good as it looked in the picture? This is false advertising. The store may have wanted the product to look better than it actually was to make people come to the store. If an advertisement contains a picture, the picture must look like the real product it advertises.

Have you ever seen an advertisement for a product, but when you went to the store, the store no longer had the product? Sometimes this can happen by accident. But stores who always advertise products that they don’t have are guilty of false advertising. They could be using this trick just to get people to come to the store.
Also, if an advertisement says that an item is “on sale,” then the item must have had a higher price recently. It is false advertising if an item is always on sale. It is important for people to recognize false advertising tricks so that they are not tricked into buying products that they do not need or want.
