Puffery refers to subjective exaggerations (e.g., "The best coffee in the world") which are legal. False advertising involves objective, measurable claims that are untrue (e.g., "100% organic" when it is not).
False Advertising

Consumers rely on advertising to make informed purchasing decisions. When companies use misleading claims, hidden terms, or bait-and-switch tactics, they not only violate consumer trust but also break the law.
