FTC Eyes Revisions to the Guidelines that Shape Green Marketing
Advertising Partner Jeffrey A. Greenbaum is quoted in the article, "FTC Eyes Revisions to the Guidelines that Shape Green Marketing" published by Bloomberg Law. The article discusses the FTC's recent updates to the Green Guides, which influence state laws and will have a major impact on how brands can portray themselves and their products as environmentally friendly. The revisions come amid shifts in climate marketing, consumer perception, science, and the Biden administration's climate change plans. Jeff is quoted saying, "Even if the guides aren’t law, companies try to follow the advice closely." He adds, "We treat it like it is law."
Jeff notes that it is not in the long-term interest of a company to purposefully make false statements to reel in environmentally-conscious consumers. He says, “They’re not interested in tricking a consumer to buy a product once. That’s just not how you build a relationship with customers, and it’s not how you build a brand.”

Law.com quoted Holly Melton was quoted in a Law.com in an article discussing the Federal Trade Commission's consideration of a petition to revive the "Click to Cancel" rule. Ms. Melton analyzed the FTC's potential next steps following the rule's invalidation by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. She noted that when Amazon agreed to pay $2.5 billion in September to settle allegations of deceptive Prime subscription practices, the settlement document included language indicating that any future rulemaking on subscription cancellations would supersede the agreement's provisions. Mr. Melton emphasized that this language "reads like a deliberate placeholder—future-proofing the settlement for the reappearance of click to cancel," suggesting the commission anticipates reviving the rule in some form. She advised that businesses should maintain compliance with the rule's underlying principles, stating that "for advertisers and subscription-based businesses, the path forward is clear: provide transparent disclosures, obtain affirmative consent, and make cancellation as effortless as sign-up."
