Reading list: consumer protection

I haven't gotten to these yet, but today's list, via SmartCILP, is a hopeful indicator of a surge in academic attention to consumer protection/advertising law issues:

DeVeau, Taryn M. Note. Naturally confusing consumers: express federal preemption of state claims regarding false and misleading food product labels. 5 Ky. J. Equine, Agri., & Nat. Resources L. 119-141 (2012-2013).

Friedman, David Adam. Explaining "bait-and-switch" regulation. 4 Wm. & Mary Bus. L. Rev. 575-638 (2013).  (I linked the SSRN version, but there's also a journal version.)

Lantagne, Stacey M. A matter of national importance: the persistent inefficiency of deceptive advertising class actions. 8 J. Bus. & Tech. L. 117-156 (2013).

Millan, Meaghan. Note. The justiciability of state consumer protection claims in federal courts: a study of named plaintiffs who cease using the disputed product yet seek injunctive relief. 81 Fordham L. Rev. 3565-3598 (2013).
