Harvey Norman breached advertising standards with e-scooter claim

The watchdog added that advertising claims should not be made on any expected changes in the law until such a time as the legislation is fully in place.

Retailer Harvey Norman breached advertising standards by promoting an e-scooter as “perfect for commuters,” a watchdog has said.

In its latest round of decisions, the Advertising Standards Authority of Ireland (ASAI) said the particular advertisement shouldn’t appear in its current form again even though it had only been shown on screen for two seconds in the TV ad.
