The company was given a firm warning from the UK’s watchdog. Constraints These are a number of restrictions businesses have to abide by (Mrs Atkins). 1.

In case the legislations are broken the ASA requires that before that Business is granted the approval of the ASA before any other advertisement.

The Federal Trade Commission enforces these truth-in-advertising laws, and it applies the same standards no matter where an advertisement appears – in newspapers and magazines, online, in the mail, or on billboards or buses.” The Federal Trade Commission does not have one clear definition, but it does explain that companies and services are not allowed to exaggerate their content or images in order to advertise to their consumers to purchase a specific product or service. Again, these advertisements can be seen throughout the media as well as in the public.
