The FTC recently released a study on "up to" claims about products in advertisements - claims that consumers will see a savings from their use of the advertised product "up to" a certain percentage or dollar amount.  The study found that consumers often believe that they will receive the maximum benefit described in the ad.  Paul Franz from Procter & Gamble will discuss how this is a departure from previous FTC guidance.
