Can cosmetics "prevent cancer"?
Can skin care products "fight cancer"? Won't conscience hurt if you cheat money like this?
"Please, stop cheating my mother out of life-saving money. ”
Recently, netizens "Roll Over Huahua" posted a video saying that she had a debt of 200,000 yuan to treat her mother's cancer, but her mother was deceived in the live broadcast room
The savings were used to buy the so-called "anti-cancer" cosmetics sold by a million-fan anchor, and the video quickly attracted widespread attention after it was released

On April 19, "Huahua", who claimed to be a cosmetics inspector, posted a video saying that in June 2022, she graduated from the University of Science and Technology Beijing, and her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer last year, and it took her a year to pay 200,000 yuan in debt to make up her mother's surgery fee, "I work in the company during the day and deliver food at night"
But my mother's health was getting worse and worse, and I asked relatives to learn that my mother used the money she saved to buy medicine to buy skin care products that claimed to "contain collagen peptides" and "can prevent cancer"
"Let your family never touch this word again, two points, one wide, three mouths, and a big mountain. ”
In the video intercepted by "Huahua", the anchor Zhang did not directly say the word "cancer", but implied that the product could prevent cancer, and the comment area also typed the word "cancer".
There is a line written in the upper left corner of the live broadcast room: "Fortunately, with collagen, our family can be neatly together"
"Huahua" said that he studied chemistry and was a cosmetics testing engineer, and he knew very well whether these things were useful or not
In the video, "Huahua" made a demonstration and pointed out that Zhang's operation of using alcohol to measure the content of collagen peptides in the live broadcast room was nonsense
It was found that the so-called "fish gelatin" was only a thickener added to it - xanthan gum
She also said that after checking the relevant information, she did not find any data showing that collagen peptides can cure cancer
In the videos released by "Huahua" on April 16 and April 23, many of Zhang's "brainwashing" words in the live broadcast room were intercepted, and the main audience was the elderly
"What are you shooting? It's the rest of your life. ”
Zhang claimed that he did not make "money for losing conscience", saying that the product was "losing money" and "putting things on the shelves", and everyone lost 300-500 yuan. ”
He also told viewers to be grateful, saying that he was sending positive energy
In addition, in the video comment area of "Huahua", many netizens said that they or their relatives were also deceived
"Huahua" said that she also sent out the video in the hope of reminding more people not to be deceived
Middle-aged and elderly people are easily deceived by this simple scam, and young people should look at their mobile phones and care more about them
On April 24, "Huahua" said that the platform has contacted itself to negotiate a refund
As for the live broadcast room with millions of fans involved, it has been banned, the platform has removed the relevant products, and the results of the anchor are still going through the process and have not yet been announced
"Huahua" said that she plans to report to the Municipal Supervision Bureau with evidence next, hoping for further processing
In the video released by "Huahua", the live broadcast room, anchor and products are coded, but some netizens pointed out that the brand involved is Manboni, and the anchor Zhang is "Zhang Qi" who claims to be the founder of the brand
The account involved "Zhang Qi Manboni brand founder" has 1.055 million followers on a platform, and after it was exposed, the account was quickly banned, and the platform's customer service previously replied that it had received relevant reports, but it was impossible to inquire about why the specific account was banned
Its trademarks are widely used, including edible bird's nest, konjac jelly and other food soaps, face and body cosmetics, etc

Many netizens expressed their anger!
on this
Liu Kai, a lawyer at a law firm in Beijing, believes that if the product promoted by the anchor Zhang in the live broadcast room is indeed not supported by clinical trial data and is packaged as having anti-cancer effect, then the behavior may constitute "false advertising", suspected of violating the "Advertising Law" and "Consumer Rights Protection Law", and in serious cases, it may even constitute the crime of fraud in the Criminal Law
"Fraud through the marketing of anti-cancer skin care products not only infringes on the property rights and interests of the parties, but also delays normal diagnosis and treatment, endangering life, health and safety. ”
At the same time, if the platform fails to effectively fulfill its regulatory responsibilities, resulting in the spread and persistence of illegal acts, there may be regulatory liability for lack of supervision
"Online livestreaming platforms have regulatory responsibility for regulating the conduct of anchors, and platforms shall review and manage influencer accounts and advertising content, so as to protect users' lawful rights and interests and the authenticity of information. ”
