Call Now to Discuss the Details of Your Case

Manufacturers and retailers put enormous effort into marketing and advertising, often making grandiose claims about their product or service. But as long as these claims aren’t overtly deceptive (or flat-out false), they’re typically legal. A deceptive trade practice is activity by an individual or business that is meant to mislead or lure the public into purchasing a product or service.

Deceptive Trade Practice Examples

State laws define certain acts as deceptive trade practices. Most states have very similar lists of offenses, but typically vary in how they are handled.

Trade practices commonly defined as “deceptive” include, but are not limited to:

• False representation of the source, sponsorship, approval, certification, accessories, characteristics, benefits, or quantities of a good or service
• Representing goods as original or new when, in fact, they are deteriorated, altered, reconditioned, reclaimed, or used
• Falsely stating the certain services, replacements, or repairs are needed
• Advertising goods or service with the intent of not selling them as advertised, or with the intent of not having enough in stock to meet reasonably expected demand
• Disconnecting, turning back, or resetting the odometer of a vehicle to reduce the number of miles indicated
• Passing off goods or services as those of another (for example, selling counterfeit goods)
• Representing goods or services as having a sponsorship, approval, or certification of goods or services
