The FTC is considering revising the Green Guides for the first time in over a decade, stating that it “seeks to update the guides based on increasing consumer interest in buying environmentally friendly products.”

Due to the holiday season and supply chain disruptions, several interested parties sought an extension of the previous comment period, which was scheduled to close on February 21. The FTC has extended the period for 60 days, or until April 24, giving stakeholders a critical opportunity to provide input and data on permissible claims and help shape future agency guidance.
