It appears China is going through the "snake oil" phase of capitalism.

Just guessing but I suspect that women were hardest hit. I hope authorities stay abreast of the situation.

I wonder if they need any product liability lawyers to handle the suits. We have plenty that we can send them.

Indeed. What a shame. She had a dream...well, 2 dreams, and now it's a double nightmare.

Your idea of "snakeoil capitalism" is very true. With new freedoms (as much as the Chinese might have) come the dangers, along with the blessings of a "free market".

I hope they have the opportunity to live and learn just like we did here.

Reminds me of back when I was a kid (late 40's) and they were puishing this stuff on the radio:

The stuff was 12% alcohol so it "cured" a lot of ills.

It is alleged that it was heavily used by the late Hank Williams.

Homeopathic medicine, magnetic therpy, crystals, etc... Still lots of snake oil being sold here in America.
