Company Asked to Revise Advertising To More Clearly Indicate the Basis of its Claims
In a recent challenge, the National Advertising Division recommended that The Gillette Company modify its claims regarding the tug and pull created by its Proglide product. Gillette advertised that the ProGlide's thinner, finer blades resulted in less tug and pull, using the qualifying disclaimer "leading blades vs. Fusion." Energizer Personal Care challenged the claim, alleging that consumers could interpret the claim to mean that all of the blades in the ProGlide product are the Gillette's thinnest blades ever when in fact only the first four out of the five blades were thinner that Gillette's Fusion razor. Energizer also alleged that the use of the phrase "leading blades" in the disclaimer was not sufficient to clarify the claim because it could be interpreted as "leading product" and not as the first blade in a series on the razor.
