The UK Advertising Standards Authority upheld complaints against Cara Capsules Ltd t/a Home + Health for misleading advertising claims in a paid Facebook ad and website. The ads falsely implied that standard dishwasher tablets were harmful to human health and made unsubstantiated comparative claims about the toxicity and safety of dishwasher tablets. The ASA found the ads were not clearly identified as marketing communications and that the health-related claims lacked evidence.
