I recently purchased a food blender that was advertised through a Facebook page. The blender does not perform the functions that the advertisement claimed it would. What is my legal position?

- The same rules regarding misleading and deceptive conduct apply to social media marketing.
- There are no separate laws for social media in this regard.
