What does the FTC require of product labels?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that product labels be truthful and not misleading to consumers. Labels must provide clear information about the product’s identity, quality, and quantity, as well as any claims made regarding the product’s benefits or features. Additionally, specific regulations may apply to certain products, such as food or cosmetics, mandating disclosures about ingredients, allergens, or nutritional information. Overall, the goal is to ensure transparency and protect consumers from deceptive marketing practices.
