First, the parents are buying not the kids. Second, the parents are not idiots.
Too many scams, like this, without disclosure that these are paid endorsements. Personally I hope that all the money is forfeited as fines. Need to put a stop to this fraud.
Not much detail.
It seems like it may be petty, but not much info.
Here’s a scoop. Commercials are paid for.
See money, find offense, sue...
Putting your young child on the internet for your own personal gain? You know a good chunk of the audience are pedo pervs.
I can’t believe the FTC is going after a 7-year-old kid from Nowheresville, Flyover State. Aren’t there enough cheating megacorps to occupy the FTC’s time?
“”he pushed unwitting children into buying toys made by his sponsors.””
I can’t follow this...How would kids even know there is a You Tube of this and WHY would parents not be aware of what their kids are watching? Do they buy anything and everything their kids desire? Or do the kids get in the family car and drive to Wal Mart to buy what they see on You Tube? That’s where that kid was going when he took off in his grandfather’s car a few months ago, I bet!
I know - stupid questions! Personally, I think this kid is pretty obnoxious and only 7 years old? He’ll be intolerable in a few more years unless money buys friends for him!
Worse than the Milli Vanilli scandal. Next thing you know, we’re going to find out that professional wrestling is staged.
Yeah, I guess $22 million in Google ad revenue wasn’t enough for the parents. They really needed that extra twelve dollars and seventy-five cents paid under the table by the toy companies..
If the child ever makes a pro conservative comment then his channel will be banned.
I'm not following.
Walmart is a store, not a brand. Are they saying that the store provided the toys and he didn't declare that?
Are these toys generally available at many stores? What difference does it make that he played with one acquired from Walmart rather than, say, Target?
For the sake of argument, suppose he played with toys from Hasbro. Does this mean that Milton Bradley can complain that he's not playing with their toys?

Start with fast food commercials.
This isn’t the government’s business and they should butt out.
Send the 7 year old to leavenworth. /s
I guess RL will have to start mentioning his ‘brand’ inre the T shirts, and whatever he is hawking then taking up a good portion of the show ‘discussing’ it.
I REALLY like the ‘idea’ that the POLs should take a hint from NASCAR and wear a patch from all their ‘sponsors’ ESPECIALLY when voting on ‘favoring’ one company or another.
The press sees absolutely NO PROBLEM with a grifter from Arkansas whose only jobs he or his family had were a result of politics and people currying for favor.
Can’t ‘blame’ Walmart etal if the Govs wife is on the board BUT should be a mostly volunteer/honorary position not a 7 figure ‘make rain’ job.
The vagabond from IL who also NEVER had a ‘job’ has more homes than the average bear while lecturing about abusive personal wealth....
I personally think that once a person hits the #1 spot, doors maybe should open, after all there have only been 45 of them.
OTOH, don’t continually crucify a person who actually has WORKED and made a VERY GOOD living during his adult life while letting the ‘grifters & vagabonds’ skate.
The kid makes me feel like an utter failure.
