FTC walks a fine line when issuing a corrective advertising order and specifying the remedial action a deceptive advertiser must take. The objective is to restore the marketplace to its original position prior to the deceptive advertising so that a firm does not continue to reap the rewards from its past deception.

arriscar-se
Com o verbo, geralmente traduzo como "arriscar-se", de acordo com o contexto. A idéia é de que se está fazendo algo inusitado, prestes a passar do limite.
Quando "fine line" é o sujeito, uso "linha tênue" ou até "limite frágil" (ex.: "existe uma linha tênue/um limite frágil entre o amor e o ódio").
