FTC Cleans Up “Free” B2B Marketing | Lexology

FTC Cleans Up “Free” B2B Marketing | Lexology | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
From www.lexology.com - November 17, 2017 10:20 AM
The FTC is no stranger to cracking down on businesses offering so-called “free” products, only to charge the consumer for them later on. It wasn’t long ago that we wrote about that exact issue. But a recent FTC complaint shows that the FTC is not only cleaning up businesses selling directly to consumers, but also businesses selling to other businesses.

On October 30th, the FTC filed suit in Illinois against a number of cleaning product suppliers for violating the FTC Act, the FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule, and the Unordered Merchandise Statute. The complaint alleged that defendants, who sell office and cleaning supplies, called small businesses, hotels, municipalities, and charitable organizations, purporting to offer a free sample of their products. However, the samples were not free. Regardless of whether the consumer wanted the sample or not, the defendants would send one, and following not too far behind would be an invoice for that free sample.
Marteq's insight:

Despite the current administration, the FTC is alive and well.

So much information that it cannot be summarized, so please click through for the details as it covers privacy and SPAM within and outside of the U.S. Strangely, it does not cover CASL.
