Preferred term

Federal Trade Commission  

Definition

  • The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is a five-person, independent government agency that has as its primary goal the protection of consumers from unfair or deceptive business practices. The FTC originally was created in 1914 to prohibit unfair competition, but Congress later expanded the commission's powers to include regulation of false and deceptive advertising. [Source: Encyclopedia of Public Relations; Federal Trade Commission]
