2003"In determining whether certain acts constitute a violation of this act, we have adopted the criteria set out in the cigarette rule by the federal trade commission . . . (1) [W]hether the practice, without necessarily having been previously considered unlawful, offends public policy as it has been established by statutes, the common law, or otherwise — whether, in other words, it is within at least the penumbra of some common law, statutory, or other established concept of unfairness; (2) whether it is immoral, unethical, oppressive, or unscrupulous; (3) whether it causes substantial injury to

Canaan Oil Co. , 202 Conn. 234 , 242 (1987), McLaughlin Ford Inc. v. Ford Motor Co. , 192 Conn. 558 , 569 N. 15 (1984) and reckless conduct may here involve a violation of other prongs of the cigarette rule also.
