Russ Andrews : Knuckles Rapped by the ASA
« on: 28 Mar 2008, 03:59 am »
ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) condemns Russ Andrews and ruled that he breached number of CAP (Committee of Advertising Practice) Codes that cover Substantiation, Truthfulness, and Comparisons.

Some people, crafty hi-fi salesmen included, try to justify themselves by claiming that it is their 'opinion', no matter it is devious, mis-leading or utter rubbish!

ASA Adjudication is very thorough. It ends by asserting,
"We told Russ Andrews not use the claims again unless they could substantiate them with robust scientific evidence."

Will Mr. Russ Andrews stop his tactics more suited to a snake oil merchant or will he, the sort of clever man that he is, find ways around CAP Codes?

I would also like to see withdrawal of some of his dodgy offerings; voluntarily or otherwise.
