Shocker: Online Breast Enhancement Solution May Be Fake
from the yeah,-like-we-didn't-know-that dept
Well, it was the obvious next step after someone tried to sue penis pill internet marketers for misleading claims. Now, the Washington state Attorney General's Office is suing a company offering "breast enhancement" solutions online. What amazes me is that anyone actually believes these companies in the first place. The AG's office noted that the company talked about clinical tests that (surprise, surprise) didn't exist, lies concerning FDA approval of the products, and lies about the fact about whether the pills contained hormones. They're also going to go through the (most likely made up) "testimonials" and try to determine whether or not they're true. Anyway, I'm sure someone else has already opened up an identical site somewhere else.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
