Infomercials, Deceptive Advertising And The Federal Trade Commission, W.H. Ramsay Lewis Jan 1992

Infomercials, Deceptive Advertising And The Federal Trade Commission, W.H. Ramsay Lewis

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Recently, there has been growing concern among consumers, broadcasters and the Federal Trade Commission that infomercials may be a form of deceptive advertising. This note applies Federal Trade Commission guidelines to the infomercial format and concludes that infomercials are precariously close to violating commonly held standards for deceptive advertising. This note advocates that the Federal Trade Commission promulgate new standards requiring infomercials to identify themselves to consumers at all times as paid advertisements, so as to reduce the risk of consumers being unfairly fooled by advertisers.


What Role Should The Federal Government Play In Consumer Protection?, David S. Cohen Jan 1992

What Role Should The Federal Government Play In Consumer Protection?, David S. Cohen

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The purpose of these remarks is to comment on and to reinforce many of the points made by Professor Neilson in his "Comment on the Recent Federal Proposals for the Rationalization of Trade Practices Regulation in Canada".' More broadly, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the motives and agenda of the current policies and constitutional reform proposals which address the role which the federal government should play in consumer protection generally.

Closing The American Products Liability Frontier: The Rejection Of Liability Without Defect, James A. Henderson Jr., Aaron Twerski Nov 1991

Closing The American Products Liability Frontier: The Rejection Of Liability Without Defect, James A. Henderson Jr., Aaron Twerski

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

For over one hundred years American courts expanded the rights of plaintiffs in products liability cases. First the courts eliminated the privity requirement, next the necessity of proving fault, and finally, the necessity of proving a production defect. The next logical step in this progression would be to eliminate the need to show any type of defect at all. In this Article, Professors Henderson and Twerski assert that this step cannot and will not be taken. They explore both the possibility of across-the-board liability without defect and the more limited idea of product-category liability without defect. They describe how a …


Risk Perceptions In Regulation, Tort Liability, And The Market, W. Kip Viscusi Oct 1991

Risk Perceptions In Regulation, Tort Liability, And The Market, W. Kip Viscusi

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Risk regulations are generally based on a stylized view of the behavior of the individuals affected by the regulation. These behavioral assumptions establish the basis for regulation and also influence the character of the regulation that will be pursed. The mix of behavioral assumptions that provides the basis for policy is often inconsistent. In some cases policymakers assume that irrationality prevails if that assumption will promote government intervention. If, however, individual perception of the risk and response to it is required to make a policy effective, risk regulators do not recognize individuals' cognitive limitations. These stylized views of risk-taking behavior …

Defining "Green": Toward Regulation Of Environmental Marketing Claims, Roger D. Wynne May 1991

Defining "Green": Toward Regulation Of Environmental Marketing Claims, Roger D. Wynne

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note joins a rising chorus calling for government regulation of green marketing claims. It attempts to encourage and add a sense of urgency to a burgeoning regulatory movement by highlighting some of the legal issues that such regulation entails. Part I identifies a gap in the law: the inability of current truth-in-advertising laws to clarify the legality of green marketing claims. Part II urges bridging that gap quickly; it examines the costs of continued nonregulation and describes some of the forms regulation is taking. Part III attempts to allay any fears that such regulations might be challenged on first …

Regulation Vs. The Market: The Case Of Bicycle Safety (Part Ii), Ross D. Petty Mar 1991

Regulation Vs. The Market: The Case Of Bicycle Safety (Part Ii), Ross D. Petty

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

In this part, Professor Petty examines bicycle Risk in detail, comparing the accomplishments of the CPSC's bicycle standard with market forces resulting in, e.g., the development and use of hardshell bicycle helmets. Moreover, he briefly discusses the role of tort liability in managing Risk. Ultimately he concludes that, in the case of bicycle safety, regulation has failed to be as effective as other forces tending to reduce bicycle injuries. [Part I appears at 77.]


Market Share Liability: A Current Assessment Of A Decade-Old Doctrine, Andrew B. Nace Mar 1991

Market Share Liability: A Current Assessment Of A Decade-Old Doctrine, Andrew B. Nace

Vanderbilt Law Review

Ten years ago, in Sindell v. Abbott Laboratories, the California Supreme Court created market share liability as a remedy for plaintiffs who had suffered injuries from prenatal exposure to diethystilbestrol (DES), but were unable to identify the specific manufacturer of the drug. The court fashioned the remedy because the available tort theories at the time-enterprise liability, alternate liability, and concert of action-were inadequate remedies for DES plaintiffs. The court's motivation was compensatory: redress innocent plaintiffs' injuries at the expense of collectively negligent defendants. Because of the victims' inability to show actual causation, the new doctrine sought to approximate a manufacturer's …

Regulation Vs. The Market: The Case Of Bicycle Safety (Part I), Ross D. Petty

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

This part of the article describes events leading to the creation of the Consumer Product Safety Commission - and the on-going debate between those who believe safety regulation is necessary and those who believe that market forces can achieve acceptable levels of Risk. The author also sets the stage for a detailed examination of bicycle Risk. In the next issue, he compares the accomplishments of the CPSC's bicycle standard with, e.g., the development and use of hard-shell bicycle helmets. Moreover, he discusses the role of tort liability in managing Risk and ultimately concludes that, in the case of bicycle safety, …
