Kuala Lumpur: Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek on Tuesday exposed a health product firm said to have deceived its customers.
The Bursa Malaysia-listed company had promoted the product, saying that it could improve blood circulation and strengthen the heart.
Throughout my involvement in the medical profession, Ive not come across a device that can strengthen the heart of a person, he told reporters after opening a anti-smoking forum, here.
Dr Chua, however, declined to disclose the companys name, saying it was listed on Bursa Malaysia only recently.
He said his Ministry was studying the form of action to be taken against the company which had reaped millions in profits every year from the sale of health products.
Dr Chua reminded the public not to be easily swayed by advertisements of health products and medicines on television, newspapers and the Internet.
He advised them to buy only government-sanctioned health products. - Bernama
