NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 6 months agoIMHO this is misleading/false marketing. In the food market this would never fly, at least not in most western countries. In my country you can’t even call almond milk almond milk because it’s technically not milk, even though there’s nothing misleading about it… So why wouldn’t the same apply to non-food products?
I honestly don’t know if there’s laws against it outside of food in my country, and I suspect there’s little to no enforcement even if there are laws… But saying LEATHER GLOVE ~by the way it’s synthetic leather~ is exactly the sort of thing laws should protect against.

There are protected terms in non food too, but just leather isn’t one. Genuine leather, full-grain leather, top grain leather, and bonded leather are protected.
