What You Can get away with on Television: 7: RCA hearing Aids or are they?

The history of RCA via the Wikipedia:

  • imageThe RCA Corporation was a major American electronics company, which was founded in 1919 as the Radio Corporation of America. It was initially a patent trust owned by General Electric (GE), Westinghouse, AT&T Corporation, and United Fruit Company. In 1932, RCA became an independent company after the partners were required to divest their ownership as part of the settlement of a government antitrust suit.
  • Reacquired by General Electric in 1986;
  • Today, RCA exists as a brand name only; the various RCA trademarks are currently owned by Sony Music Entertainment and Technicolor, which in turn license the RCA brand name and trademarks to several other companies, including Voxx International, Curtis International, AVC Multimedia, TCL Corporation and Express LUCK International, Ltd. for their various products.

So who really makes them, surely not RCA as that is a brand name only and does not manufacture anything... i.e. Let the buyer beware! (caveat emptor ~ Latin)

addendum 9/27/23 Hey the SOBs even tried to get Nipper (dog) in on it too. That's not how you play pool (for you folks across the pond it's reds and yellows) ~~ C. Harrison

    Yes, once a mighty company, now just a trademark.

    If I had my way in a perfect universe I'd ban that somehow. Same with small print.. it should be big print if it's important, which it usually is!

    Here there are TV ads of trashy products all from one firm, and in my opinion they appear misleading to me all the time. The advertising standards authority does nothing.

    They had one product called "Navy Seal Draught Shield Tape". Trying to ride on the back of the impression that it has something to do with the toughness of Navy SEALs I think!

    It wasn't even navy-blue colored, in case that's what they were referring to by the name of it!
