Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 12, March 22, 2024

It is an unfair or deceptive act for a seller to advertise any product for sale when the seller does not have that product in stock in sufficient quantities to meet reasonably anticipated customer demand during the effective period of the advertisement, except where:

a) The seller clearly and conspicuously discloses in its advertisement that quantities are limited or that restrictions apply to the advertised offer; or

b) Conditions beyond the seller's control (i.e. bankruptcy of source, labor stoppage, Act of God, etc.) interrupted the supply of the product; or

c) The seller has, in good faith, ordered the product in adequate time for delivery and in sufficient quantity to satisfy reasonably anticipated consumer demand, and the seller has maintained sufficient records to substantiate such orders; or

d) The seller tenders a raincheck entitling prospective purchasers to buy the advertised product at the advertised price and redeems the raincheck within a reasonable time after the issuance thereof; or

e) The seller offers prospective customers a product of an equal or greater value at the same price which is acceptable to a reasonable consumer or is of a lesser value at the same dollar or percentage savings.
