Power Balance wristbands exposed as a sham | News.com.au
A WRISTBAND claiming to boost strength, balance and flexibility has been exposed as a fake.
The ACCC ordered Power Balance Australia to cease marketing its wristbands with claims of boosted sporting performance, and demanded they refund people already duped by the purported benefits, reported the Herald Sun.
Sports stars from Brendan Fevola to Damien Oliver have been seen with the faux performance enhancers on their wrists, but their scientific credentials have been well behind their marketing.
ACCC chairman Graeme Samuel said the bands had been exposed as fake and warned people off them as a last-minute gift.
