Product advertising is not only socially valid but in fact desirable in a free market economy. However the suppliers' freedom to advertise should not conflict with consumer protection, in particular protection from deception, any more than can be tolerated. How can the consumer be protected from misleading product advertising? What provisions can be made in criminal law to punish inadmissible product advertising? Bernd Hecker examines the relationship between the protection against fraud in German criminal law and in Community law.
