When it comes to advertising, using exaggeration, or puffery, is legally acceptable as long as the claims are so outlandish that they are not meant to be taken literally by a reasonable consumer. For example, stating that a vacuum cleaner "sucks up all the dirt in the universe" would be considered puffery because it's an exaggeration. However, if an advertisement claims that a vacuum cleaner "removes 100% of dust and allergens" and that claim cannot be substantiated, it crosses into false advertising, which is illegal. When discussing vacuum replacements, it's crucial to ensure that any claims about their performance are backed by evidence and are not misleading, to avoid any legal pitfalls. This approach keeps consumers informed while maintaining trust in the brand.
