FTC Sues Two Firms Over Sweepstakes Deceptive Claims
The FTC charges Longines-Wittnauer and Procter & Gamble with deceptive sweepstakes claims. Odds against winning grand prizes were extremely long in both promos, with Longines-Wittnauer at 25 million to 1 and P G at 30 million to 1 for a grand prize, among other harsh odds figures. P G calls the complaint unjustified and says it may settle as it abandons sweepstakes promotions. The firms may accept proposed consent orders or contest at an FTC hearing.
