First, the quality standards and compliance of slimming products.
As a product related to consumers' health, the production and sales of slimming products need to strictly abide by relevant national laws and standards. This includes provisions on product composition, efficacy and safety. Only products that meet these requirements can be legally sold.
Second, the legitimacy of the sales behavior
When selling slimming products, sellers must follow the principle of honesty and trustworthiness, and may not make false propaganda, exaggerate the efficacy of products or conceal product defects. At the same time, sellers also need to abide by the price law, consumer rights protection law and other relevant laws to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of consumers are not infringed.
Three. Consequences of illegal acts
If sellers sell weight-loss products with quality problems or sell them by illegal means, they may face legal sanctions. This may include administrative punishment, civil compensation and even criminal responsibility. Therefore, sellers must maintain a high degree of legal awareness and integrity awareness when engaging in sales activities of slimming products.
To sum up:
Whether it is illegal to sell slimming products depends on the nature of the products, the sales methods and whether the seller's behavior complies with relevant laws and regulations. Sellers should ensure that the weight-loss products they sell meet the national standards, and abide by laws and regulations in the sales process and operate in good faith. At the same time, when consumers buy slimming products, they should also pay attention to choosing formal channels to avoid buying fake and shoddy products.
