You can't sue someone preemptively for bad information. You've also got to have a bad situation made significantly worse by bad information.

Surely you can though! Isn't that what endangerment exists for (or is that bar too high?). I imagine if actual harm, or near harm, was required then it would be very difficult to enforce a lot standards.

A lot of enforcement comes from government authority and fines and what not, not lawsuits and not private lawsuits.

I mean, you're welcome to file a suit, but if you don't have a contract, and you don't have actual harm, and you don't have statuatory harm, expect your suit to be dismissed.
