 MAGIC BRACELET
A Junior High School student heard
of a product demonstration in a
local mall. The demonstration was
advertising a “Magic Bracelet”
which can revive energy and lower
blood pressure. The student was
easily attracted. He spent P 1,000
for the item.
 After a week, the student developed allergic
reactions. Upon checking, the bracelet was found
to have been treated with chemicals to preserve
its surface. He also reviewed the comments of
the customers via Facebook page and saw same
conditions with other buyers. The comments also
pointed out that the items have high lead
content. Overwhelmed with this, the student
wants to file a complaint to stop the selling and
charge the business owner for the medical
expenses he incurred. He also wants his money
back.
