I've just started watching House of Cards this month, and there is a disclaimer from Netflix that the show contains product placements, so at least they're being honest about it.

IANAL but I also think it might be illegal not to disclaim it in certain places. Not sure about UK, but it definitely is in certain European countries.
Apparently there's a logo that has to be run before & after the show - but only if the show is made in the UK - https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/advice-for-c...
FWIW, I watched House of Cards in the the US and did not see any disclaimers about product placement.
Belgium is one of those countries. We have a little PP logo displayed at the start of shows that contain product placement.
Ah, so that's what that means!
