Plain-English Summary

The Federal Trade Commission would be required to investigate whether companies are using misleading or unfair advertising when marketing specialized infant formula designed for premature babies, then report their findings to Congress. Based on what they find, the FTC would be authorized to create new rules to stop any deceptive marketing practices in this industry. This would protect parents and hospitals from being misled about the benefits or contents of these medical products.
