French Consumer Law

To be lawful, comparative advertising must make an objective comparison of essential, relevant, verifiable and representative characteristics of the goods or services in question. The lack of objectivity may result from the use of qualities that cannot be verified by the consumer as they are subject to a personal assessment of the goods or services, or from a partial or distorted presentation of the products or services compared. Certain omissions may prevent the consumer from being able to objectively assess the differences between the offers.
