Let's say that a company is selling a moisturizing cream with the "stuffase-free" marketing argument on its face label.



The cream indeed doesn't contains stuffase, but the label is implicitly implying that:



  • other creams may contain stuffase (which is false in most cases)

  • stuffase is bad for your health (which is either false or true but irrelevant since it is not found anywhere)

This question applies for following variations:



  • stuffase doesn't even exist,

  • stuffase exists but its effect on health is currently unknown,

  • stuffase exists but is thought to be safe for most humans' health

Since nothing is explicitely false in this speech, I'm wondering, is it illegal somewhere (World/Europe/France/US)?
