6 See id. at 59-60; see also Bolger v. Youngs Drug Products Corp., 463 U.S. 60, 66-67 (1983) (holding that the relevant factors are: (1) whether the speech is concededly an advertisement; (2) whether the speech refers to a specific product; and (3) whether the speaker has an economic motivation for disseminating the speech).

11 The Central Hudson analysis asks: (1) whether the speech is inherently misleading; (2) whether the government's interest is substantial; (3) whether the commercial speech restrictions advance the government's interest in a direct and material way; and (4) whether the restriction unduly burdens substantially more speech than necessary. See Central Hudson Gas & Elec. Corp. v. Public Serv. Comm'n of New York, 447 U.S. 557, 566 (1980).

12 See Friedman, 13 F. Supp. 2d at 66 (noting that to end the Central Hudson analysis on the first prong, the speech must be inherently misleading, meaning more likely to deceive the public than to inform it).
