Real trouble for stars who promote fake products

Beijing - Celebrities who advertise fake products or promotions could lose their glitter when they are held responsible under a new draft amendment to the Advertising Law.

Sun Hongzhi, director of the Department of Advertising Regulation of the State Administration of Industry and Commerce, said on Tuesday that the amendments will specify what responsibilities celebrities will have to take if they appear in commercials for fake products.

The current advertising law does not cover stars.
