Speaking Topic: Keeping Your Green Claims Clean

While the FTC’s request for comments on the Green Guides made the FTC a priority for many this year, it’s not only the FTC that is paying attention to what companies are saying about the environmental benefits of their products -- state governments, the plaintiffs’ bar, and competitors are all monitoring these types of claims. This presentation will discuss common green claims that are used by cleaning product companies, potential risks associated with these claims, and how to best mitigate risk in promoting products with green claims in this evolving regulatory and litigation landscape
