Sales on campus targeting pupils must be banned

A COMPANY called Keshi Shiguang Optical Technology in Zhengzhou, Central China's Henan province, reportedly organized unqualified teams to do eyesight tests for pupils in hundreds of primary and secondary schools in the city and surrounding areas, tricking the pupils and their parents into buying ortho-k contact lens, which might harm the wearers' health. An editorial on thepaper.cn comments:

On Wednesday, International Day for Consumer Rights and Interests, China Central Television covered the case among others. The local authorities took immediate action and closed the company.

The local government is rather efficient. However, the closing of the company is far from enough.
