If the doctor's fake, what about the rest of the ad?

A HAIR SHAMPOO BRAND that claimed to prevent hair loss was recently reported to contain false information in its advertisement. Thepaper.cn comments:

According to reports, the figure described by the advertisement as the "doctor" who invented the shampoo was an actor hired by an advertisement company to play the role.

If the reports are true, the advertisement will almost undoubtedly be making false claims. According to the laws on advertisements and consumer rights protection, those who produce or appear in advertisements and make promises about the positive effects of a product without evidence to back them up should be punished. The reported advertisement has broken all the rules.
