Answer to Question 1

The FTC considers an act to be unfair if each of the following three tests is met: (1 ) the act causes the consumer substantial physical or financial injury; (2 ) the harm of the injury outweighs any countervailing benefit; and (3 ) the consumer could not reasonably avoid the injury. Additionally, the FTC may decide a practice is unfair on grounds it violates public policy even if the three tests mentioned above are not actually satisfied.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
