Ah, but think of the hit a much larger company would take..
I think you should turn them in and let attorneys parse their ware touting.

Examine their ad copy carefully. Nowhere do they claim that their filter
will remove even as much dirt as other filters. It is a "better filter"
because it flows more air. It removes "99% of dirt", but they don't say
what kind of dirt; small boulders perhaps.
And the FTC is nearly toothless anyway. All they ever do anymore is wait a
few years, then get a token settlement. The latest one against Sketchers is
a perfect example, the company made over $130 million just in 2010; the FTC
settled for less than 1/4 of one year's profits. If you're lucky, you'll
get $20 back. (I'll forego the obvious political comment.)
False advertising pays.
