How can consumers protect themselves from deceptive ads?

Consumers can protect themselves by researching products, reading reviews, and being skeptical of claims that seem too good to be true. Always check for third-party endorsements.

What should I do if I encounter deceptive advertising?

If you encounter deceptive advertising, you can report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or your local consumer protection agency. They can investigate and take action.
