NAD Revives "Review Hijacking" Concept Dropped from FTC Rulemaking
Update: 2025-11-07
Description
A recent NAD decision is bringing renewed attention to the FTC’s shelved concept of “review hijacking” — using reviews from one product to promote another. NAD found that a supplement brand improperly combined reviews for two “substantially different” products, echoing the FTC’s earlier language and signaling that review accuracy remains a live issue under existing advertising standards. The takeaway for advertisers: make sure product reviews truly match the item being sold.
