Certain consumer groups such as Commercial Alert object to product placement as “an affront to basic honesty”, that they claim is too usual in today’s society. Commercial Alert asks for complete disclosure of all product placement preparations, arguing that most product placements are unreliable and not clearly disclosed. They support notification before and during television programs with surrounded advertisements. One explanation for this is to allow greater parental control for children, whom they claim are without difficulty influenced by product placement.
