Well to start, their Certificate of Origins were wrong…
I happened to find this article yesterday while brushing up on my Trade Agreements news -
“Bra marketers make bogus claims of cancer prevention: officials”
The Vietnamese importer of a type of bra made in Taiwan has been exaggerating the manufacturer’s claims of the bra’s health-giving properties without government approval, according to a health ministry official.
… Trinh Van Ngoc, head of Hanoi Market Management Agency, said he was aware that some products being sold by multi-level marketing companies violated the law by carrying false claims or not having a certificate of origin.
He said he would inspect the trading of the nano bras.
Not only is this seller making ridiculous claims about their product, but they also don’t have proper trade compliance. Although I suppose that is to be expected from an unscrupulous company.
But, it does illustrate a point: Know your suppliers!
Check out the complete article to read the rest of the outrageous claims the sellers of this product were making.
