This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like "*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things"??? What the fuck are you selling then

What's keeping them from checking the info before publishing it, though?

Oh, right. Greed.

Or just copy pasting from the spec sheet

I'd guess they're basically inputting the spec sheet and original description to spit out a more "unique" description.

I'd bet they still even have the spec sheet there and the description is what the disclaimer is talking about.
