That's only tangentially a Constitutional question. The executive, of course, doesn't have the power to enact any laws. But Congress has authorized the FTC to make regulations on a wide variety of matters, and this kind of regulation is certainly within Congress's powers under prevailing doctrine.

Is it within the permissible scope of the FTC's regulatory authority under the FTC Act? That I don't know. But if it isn't it will be because of what the FTC Act says, not because of what the Constitution says.
