The Food and Drugs Board (FBD) has confiscated assorted products believed to be fake and being sold by a Chinese company, Jimon World Trading Limited (JWTL), for the treatment of various diseases.

They include brassieres said to treat breast cancer, men’s underwear for the treatment of prostate cancer and drinking cups which according to the company can treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes and improve blood circulation in the brain when water is drank from them.

The Communications Director of the FDB, James Lartey who disclosed this to the Times in Accra on Friday, said officials of the company, including some Ghanaians (names withheld) were being questioned by the police in connection with the seizure.

He said the products were imported and distributed by the company located at Ahodwo, a suburb of Kumasi with a branch at Dzorwulu, Accra.

“FDB wishes to alert the general public that the health claims being made by Jimon World Trading Limited are unsubstantiated and therefore advises that anyone who patronises these products does so at his or her own risk,” Mr. Lartey said.
