Recently, according to a report jointly released by the Chinese Medical Association and the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, there are more than 300 million chronic pain patients in China, becoming the third major health problem after cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and tumors. Many patients are skeptical about medicine and prefer to look for health care methods that are both pain-relieving and non-toxic.
Mr. Cheng, a patient in Zhengzhou City, heard about a health drink called "Daxue Mountain Health Tea" in order to relieve chronic pain. It is said that this tea is made from pure natural ingredients, which not only has a health effect but also relieves pain, so Mr. Cheng bought two boxes. However, he suffered severe physical discomfort after drinking.
Mr. Cheng is not alone, and other people who have been drinking this "health tea" for a long time have also experienced dizziness, nausea and other uncomfortable symptoms. After testing, it was surprising to find that this tea actually added the most painful chemical drug - diclofenac sodium. Diclofenac sodium is a prescription drug, and abuse may lead to liver and kidney insufficiency and even the need for organ transplantation.
Further investigation found that this "health tea" was not produced by a regular company, but by a small chicken and duck feed workshop. This small workshop may have been chosen to evade regulation and reduce costs. Deceptive means have been adopted in sales, and old users need to provide verification codes when purchasing through APP or WeChat applets, and the sales network can only be expanded through the way of "old with new", forming a sales network that radiates across the country.
* During the operation, a number of people involved in the case were arrested, and a large number of finished products and raw materials were seized. The value of this case reached more than 2,500 yuan. Experts point out that such cases are typical cases in which criminals take advantage of patients' pursuit of pain relief needs to make illegal profits. Consumers should also be vigilant that health care products cannot replace medicines, and for those who suffer from diseases, they must go to formal medical institutions for treatment, so as not to fall into the trap of false advertising health care products.
