PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): A direct selling agent has been issued a compound of RM50,000 for promoting bracelets that claim to ward off the Covid-19 virus, on social media.
said the action followed an issue that went viral on Facebook regarding the promotion of a bracelet product, priced at RM580 each, which is said able to ward off the Covid-19 virus.
He said acting on a complaint, a team from the ministry questioned a woman, who is an agent of a direct selling company, for promoting the bracelet on her Facebook. "Her action in promoting the product by giving misleading statement is an offence under Section 10 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and a maximum compound of RM50,000 was issued to her,” he said in a statement here Saturday .
