Explanation of Solution
Deceptive advertising refers to the advertisement which misleads the consumer to buy with an expectation for the product to be genuine in accordance with the advertisement. The above case is an example of Bait and Switch advertising. It occurs when the seller performs any of the following acts: (1) The seller does not portray the advertised product, (2) stocks’ inadequate quantity.
