Answer: truth in advertising.
These are false‑advertising / consumer protection laws (e.g., the U.S. FTC Act, state consumer protection statutes, the Lanham Act for competitor suits) that prohibit deceptive, misleading, or unsubstantiated claims about products or services. "Fair trade" and "market equality" are different concepts, and "honesty in marketing" is a general principle rather than the formal name of the legal regime.
