Pat goes to the Cosmic Runners Supply Store in Santa Cruz, California. The sales person shows Pat some running shoes and says, "In a race, these shoes will pick up the cosmic energy from the runners around you and channel it into your legs. This transfer of energy causes everyone with these shoes to run twice as fast as in normal shoes." Yet in Pat's next race, she finishes last; and then she sues the store and the sales person for common law fraud. What would be the likely result of such a lawsuit?
a.Pat would win since the statement was not true.
b.Pat would lose since her reliance on the statement was not justified as reasonable.
c.Pat would win if she could prove that the sales person intended to deceive her.
d.Pat would win since a finding of justifiable reliance is not needed under the FTC's regulatory standard for false and deceptive advertising.
