NAD referred to the FTC advertising claims the US firm made for its ‘Antifungal Nail Lacquer’ after the company failed to respond to an inquiry from the watchdog.
The advertising industry’s system of self-regulation, administered by the Council of Better Business Bureaus, requested that Fiore substantiate claims made about its color cosmetics, following an investigation.
As yet, Fiore is yet to respond to the statement, as well as NAD’s attempts to contact the company at any of its published addresses or telephone numbers.
“Based on the advertiser’s failure to respond to NAD’s inquiry, the advertising at issue has been referred to the FTC for further review,” says the watchdog.
The claims that NAD wish to be substantiated include:
