Glad advertises that its ForceFlex MaxStrength bags are “25% more durable.” More durable than what? If you follow an asterisk, you’ll learn that they are 25% more durable than Glad’s own 13-gallon ForceFlex bags. A competitor – presumably worried that consumers would think that Glad was making a comparison to its bags – brought a challenge before the NAD, questioning whether the basis of comparison was sufficiently clear. NAD didn’t think that was clear, either on the website or on packages. (See our summary https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/ad-law-access/nad-finds-disclosures-for-comparative-claims-arent-clear.) Glad appealed the decision with respect to the packages.
