Preventive measures for the risk of elderly people consuming medicines and health products in private live streaming rooms: Two departments issue warnings.

The State Administration for Market Regulation and the China Consumers Association jointly issued consumer tips today to guard against the risks of elderly people purchasing drugs and health products in private live streaming rooms. The State Administration for Market Regulation stated that recently, it has been found that some businesses are using private channels such as WeChat and WeChat groups to steer customers to online live streaming rooms in order to evade regulation. They falsely claim to be conducting health seminars or health consultations to exaggerate and make false advertisements, leading to elderly people making online purchases or offline purchases.
