Campaigns
Working with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Council ran a national campaign in 2022 to warn consumers on the hazard of purchasing counterfeit goods.[6] The campaign features new ads with McGruff in 3D animation, as well as a race car driven by NASCAR's Joey Gase.
In December 2021, McGruff and a public service announcement on kidnapping were featured in the animated television series the Family Guy.[7] In July 2022, McGruff made his first full-length movie debut in Disney's Chip 'n Dale: The Rescue Rangers.
In October 2022 the organization launched the Lives Project, to call attention to the growing fentanyl crisis. In December of the same year, the organization wrote to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland asking for an investigation into sale of fake drugs containing fentanyl.[8] The following month an investigation was opened.[9]
