Health Claims
Whether they're looking for a shortcut to losing weight or a cure
for a serious ailment, consumers may be spending billions of dollars
a year on unproven, fraudulently marketed, often useless health-related
products, devices and treatments. Why? Because health fraud trades
on false hope. It promises quick cures and easy solutions to a variety
of problems, from obesity to cancer and AIDS. But consumers who fall
for fraudulent "cure-all" products don't find help or better
health. Instead, they find themselves cheated out of their money,
their time, and maybe even their health. Fraudulently marketed health
products can keep people from seeking and getting treatment from their
own healthcare professional. Some products can cause serious harm,
and many are expensive because health insurance rarely covers unapproved
treatments.
