Video Case Study: Consumer Protection and Product Safety—Vitamin Water Advertisi

Watch the video case study and thenwrite a one- to two-page reflective paper (double spaced) on the followingquestions while discussing the connections between business, law, politics andethics.

1. According to the video, Coca Colaadvertises that Vitamin Water will give people protection similar to exerciseor flu shots. Discuss whether this is deceptive advertising or mere promotion.

2. Vitamin Water responds to the claimby stating that the ingredients are clearly on the label. Discuss whethermanufacturers have any duty to warn the public about their products or whetherthe law should adopt the idea of “buyer beware” so that consumers read thelabels.

3. Near the end of the video clip, thehealth and medical editor states that washing hands and drinking water willkeep one healthier than most of the health products on the market. ShouldCongress or the states be more assertive about regulating products based onhealth issues or is that too much like big brotherwatching?
