- Problems with return policySection 5 of the FTC Act prohibits “unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce.” As the Commission set forth in its 1983 Policy Statement on Deception, a representation, omission, or practice is deceptive if it is likely to mislead consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances and is material to consumers – that is, it would likely affect the consumer’s conduct or decisions with regard to a product or service. In determining whether an advertisement, including its format, misleads consumers, the Commission considers the overall “net impression” it conveys. Any qualifying information necessary to prevent deception must be disclosed prominently and unambiguously to overcome any misleading impression. http://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/public_statements/896923/151222deceptiveenforcement.pdf.
