Misleading claims are statements or representations that, while not necessarily outright false, create a deceptive impression or omit material facts, thereby influencing decisions based on incomplete or inaccurate information. These claims can cause financial harm or unfair advantage by distorting understanding. They undermine transparency and fair practice.
