BEIJING (Reuters) - China has banned TV ads for a freckle remover, touted as being so good it could remove spots from fish, when it not only killed fish but led to rashes, blisters and skin inflammation on the humans who tried it.

Advertisements promoting "Magic Freckle Removing Gel," produced by a Shanghai company, used a celebrity, bogus experts and fish to endorse the cosmetic, but fish exposed to the gel by a research institute later died from poisoning, the Beijing News said.

"(The institute) carried out a test washing the fish's spots in the gel. Two fish died successively on the third and sixth days," the paper said, citing an investigative report on Chinese state television.

Experts later found that three different fish had been used in the advertisement to make the cleanser appear effective, the paper said.

Claims that the cleanser was produced by an American company using "American technology" were also found to be false.

The gel used a plant-based compound often used in traditional Chinese medicine to reduce fever and phlegm, but its claim that it had spot-removing properties was "unscientific," the paper said.

"Not only can it not remove spots, it also has a certain amount of poison," the paper said.
Consumers in Shanghai, Beijing and several Chinese provinces had complained of "rashes, skin inflammation, blistering, colored spots and other adverse reactions," after using the product, the paper said.

China's trade watchdog, the State Administration of Commerce and Industry, had banned the ad and ordered provincial offices to investigate, the paper said.

The advertisements were no longer on television, but Internet sales were still available.

oy.... kuyawa gud! may gani ge post nimo sis aron ma aware ta tanan

yeah...ka dudahan man jd na gud mga products made in china... their version of bfad is even more lax than ours...and sa ka large sa country, not all products are tested or registered and we wont even know about it..

mao na dili jd ta pailad anang mga convincing vids they show with mga caucasian doctors extolling their products.. if we all know pa cgro actors rana ila gi hire or composite video rana with those medical stuff gkan sa other videos sad.

when it comes to ingested meds or topically applied, buy nlng jd ta sa mga pharmacy and dermatologist coz its far more expensive and painful when later on ma poison ta or ma irreparably damaged na ato skin..specially kita mga girls..heeheeheh

whitening products na deemed quite effective contain mercury daw or hydroquinone which are banned substances... even if the product documentation states that all natural na and etc, we can never really be sure na they just didnt include those other ingredients para ma effective dba? dili gud tight ang quality control sa china... and if we get hurt, i highly doubt mka claim ka gkan sa tv shopping network or sa china company

mao na mga sis, caveat emptor... never believe everything you see and hear specially if mga magical results na

[chitgoks]

in short, be contented with how you look like.. kaysa ihimo kag bungi or unsa pang laing defect hahaha layoa oi
