False Advertising vs Puffery

/

Companies compete for attention. They want to stand out, attract customers, and convince the public that their product or service is better than the rest.

Most people expect advertisements to be persuasive and even a bit exaggerated. But there is a legal and meaningful line between puffery, which is allowed, and false advertising, which is not.

That moment of disappointment is more than just a consumer gripe—it’s often the result of a packaging tactic known as slack-fill. While some slack-fill is legal, much of it walks a fine line between clever marketing and deceptive packaging.
