In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, online businesses saw a surge in demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) such as face masks, hand sanitizers, and gloves. However, some companies took advantage of the heightened need, making misleading claims about product availability and delivery times, ultimately violating consumer protection laws. In August 2020, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) filed lawsuits against several online sellers who failed to deliver on promises related to fast shipping and falsely advertised the effectiveness of their products. These cases serve as a timely reminder for businesses to prioritize transparency and ethics in their marketing practices.
