As most of us know, companies run print, television and radio campaigns to attract public notice and attention. The law defines advertising as all forms of public announcement that are intended to aid directly or indirectly in the furtherance or promulgation of an idea, or in directing attention to a business, commodity, service or entertainment

The business of advertising may be subject to reasonable regulations even though all companies have the right to engage in any lawful business or occupation. This right also extends to advertising one's business or products.

Despite this right, companies and individuals take their advertising too far, to the detriment of the consumer. In such cases, these entities may be liable to you for damages caused by, what is known as, false advertising.

False advertising can take many forms. The most common fall in to 5 broad categories:

• Food
• Consumer Electronics
• Prescription and Over the Counter Drugs
• Medical Devices
• Cosmetics
