Cisco Developed a Carburetor for Automobiles, Which He Called the "CiscoCarb

question 19

True/False

Cisco developed a carburetor for automobiles, which he called the "CiscoCarb." He advertised the carburetor in a national automobile magazine in a full-page advertisement under a caption that read: "Proven Performance-80 kilometres to a litre of gas in any car." The advertisement offered the carburetor for $100 on a 30-day, money back guarantee. Unless proper testing was done to substantiate the claim of 80 kilometres to a litre, a failure of the goods to perform as stated would constitute false or misleading advertising.
