China cracks down on medical device ad scams
China's food and drug watchdog has blacklisted 18 medical equipment manufacturers for publicizing false information on medical devices.
The State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) on Tuesday said in a statement that the companies exaggerated the benefits of the devices, or disguised actors as medical experts or patients to spread fraudulent information about curative effects, posing severe risks to people's health.
