權健虛假宣傳曾被通報 負面風波不斷

Initial investigation has found that some products from Tianjin-based health industry giant Quanjian Nature Medicine Technology Development Co. are suspected of "exaggerated promotion," a senior official of Tianjin said on Friday.

天津市一位高級官員周五表示，經初步調查發(fā)現，天津市保健行業(yè)巨頭權健天然醫(yī)藥科技開發(fā)有限公司部分產品涉嫌存在“夸大宣傳”問題。

Kang Yi, vice mayor of Tianjin and head of the joint investigation team, said investigation is still underway.

天津市副市長、聯合調查組組長康義表示，問題仍在進一步調查中。

Quanjian has also been accused of illegal pyramid sales, which is banned in China, operating without a license, improper promotion and unsafe health products.

權健還被控非法傳銷(在中國被禁止)，無證經營，不當促銷不安全的保健產品。

E-commerce sites including Tmall, Suning.com, JD.com and vip.com have taken Quanjian products offline. However, the company’s products can still be found on Taobao. Alibaba said it is waiting for the results of the official investigation.

包括天貓、蘇寧、京東和唯品會在內的電商網站已經將權健產品下線。然而，該公司的產品仍然可以在淘寶上找到。阿里巴巴表示，正在等待官方調查結果。

Tianjin-based Quanjian, founded in 2014 with a registered capital of 400.8 million yuan (US$58.32 million), came under fire after an article on a WeChat account accused it of making misleading claims about “fire therapy” and its traditional medicines, and was also blamed for the death of a girl.

總部位于天津的權健于2014年創(chuàng)立，注冊資本為4.008億元(約合5832萬美元)。因一篇微信推送指責該公司對“火療”及其傳統(tǒng)藥物做出誤導性宣傳，該公司飽受大眾詬病，且其因造成一個女孩死亡而受指責。
