Identify, compare and contrast the facts in Warner-Lambert and the case you identified

In the Warner-Lambert case the company claimed that its Listerine Anti-Septic Mouthwash was able to prevent and cure sore throats and colds. The company was unable to provide sufficient evidence or proof that the Listerine product provided more than fresh breathe even though they managed to falsely market the product as such.

A class action lawsuit was opened against Verizon Wireless in 2015. The Federal Communications Commission and the State Attorneys General and Verizon Wireless agreed to a refund program for current and former Verizon Wireless account holders due to unauthorized and previously unfunded commercial Premium Short Messaging Service charges that were created by third-parties. The charges appeared on account holders telephone bills through text message content such as sports and entertainment services. Even though Verizon Wireless stopped offering its commercial Premium SMS program in 2014, the class action lawsuit was enforced. Verizon Wireless customers, including myself received a credit adjustment on their February or March 2016 bill if they submitted a class action claim by December 31, 2015.

Both cases are similar in comparison because both companies deceived the consumer in order to make a profit by concealing or hiding the true facts about their product and services.

Is either company guilty of fraud?

Both companies are guilty of fraud according to the FTC, The FCC and the State Attorneys General because the law clearly states that when a company advertises a product or service, the advertisement must be truthful without misleading the consumer. By doing so, the consumer is provided with the opportunity to make an informed decision to purchase the product or service offered. When a company decides to hide the truth in its advertisement, it becomes both an unethical and illegal situation.
