California Business and Professions Code Section 17500 provides a state law basis for bringing a claim for false advertising. There is also a federal law basis for making a false advertising claim. However, the California statute does not require that there be a federal basis for the claim. Therefore, advertising done only within California may be actionable under the California code, while the same advertising may not necessarily be actionable under federal law. If you believe that you may have been subject to misleading advertising, or advertising that is deceptive or false, you may have a claim under Section 17500.
