If they promise a feature they don't have that is falwe advertising.

The feature is an LED light next to the camera. They delivered it.

The exact words matter. If they call it a led they are maybe fine. If they call it a camera on led they are sunk. Even if they just call it a led, the implication that it is about camera on is an arguement the courts will not toss out - though how they rule is not as clear
