Determining whether certain marketing practices are deceptive or not.

Florida's Department of Citrus and a coalition of consumer groups have launched an attack on your company for "deceptive marketing" because your company markets its "SunShine" drink as fruit juice even though the drink contains less than five percent fruit juice. Marketing "SunShine" drink as a fruit juice leads parents to believe that they are purchasing a healthy juice for their children.

What ethical and moral issues are involved in this situation? Should these issues impact the marketing of "SunShine" drink? Why or why not?


Solution Summary

I provide a reasoned argument explaining the deceptive marketing practices of the "SunShine" drink. In providing my argument I explain the relationship between ethics and morals and how it relates to marketing.
