Can I advertise my products or services without violating truth-in-advertising laws in Nevada? What are the requirements?
To advertise products or services in Nevada, businesses must comply with advertising laws. The Nevada Law and Reference Guide states that all advertising laws apply to advertisements [2]. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces truth-in-advertising standards for products and services sold online [1]. Advertisers must ensure that their claims are truthful, not misleading, and substantiated by evidence [1].
To comply with the Made in USA standard, manufacturers and marketers must ensure that their products are “all or virtually all” made in the U.S. [3]. If a product is of foreign origin, it must be marked with a foreign country of origin [3].
If a business violates advertising laws, consumers can file a complaint with the National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus [3]. In Nevada, the Office of the Attorney General can investigate deceptive or false advertising, fraud, and scams [4].
In summary, businesses must comply with advertising laws to advertise products or services in Nevada. Advertisers must ensure that their claims are truthful, not misleading, and substantiated by evidence. If a business violates advertising laws, consumers can file a complaint with the NAD or the Office of the Attorney General.
