I sense a paradox incoming...
So, if I advertise that my product doesn't violate the law, that's illegal. Which means it does violate the law, so ... no longer illegal?
No, you're just violating the law twice that way: once for claiming it doesn't violate the law, and once for false advertising.
so without getting too pedantic it should just be an unneeded assumption that all products comply with the law?
Advertising that your product is legal is illegal, to know if the product is legal you check the certification marks on the product/product container (ex: CE)
that makes too much sense for government
My government suck ass in a lot of things, but they are pretty good with regulations (if they make them), it wouldn't be too irrealistic for Italy to make something like this (just look at the regulations for buildings...), idk if they added something like that too but I hope they did
Your product wouldn't violate the law but your advertisement would.
Yup, that's pretty much it. Adverts can be illegal without the product itself violating any laws.
