Deceptive Advertising in Bangladesh and the Role of Consumer Rights Protection Authority: A Legal Study

Abstract

By today's standards, people from hundreds of years ago were frequently extremely dishonest. The phrase "caveat emptor" was in full force for many years even though common law dealt with misleading advertising. False or deceptive behavior include misrepresenting the product at hand in advertising and using false or misleading statements, both of which may have a detrimental impact on a number of stakeholders, most notably consumers. In the majority of nations, deceptive advertising is prohibited, even in the most obvious situations. Although theoretically prohibited yet unenforceable, advertisers continue to discover ways to fool customers. Advertising that is unethical is more prevalent than ever in Bangladesh. To boost their immediate sales volume of items, the majority of multinational, international, and local businesses use some deceptive advertising.
