    • Significantly and effectively slims up the entire area.

    • Wear one for 12 hours a day under clothes for tummy toning.

    • All natural healthy ingredients which means no side effects”

  • The complainant considered that there was no scientific evidence to substantiate the claims made in the advertising.

  • The advertisers said that on receipt of correspondence from the Authority they removed the marketing communication in question. The advertisers also offered their apologies for any errors within the contents of their advertising.

  • Complaint upheld.

    The Complaints Committee considered the detail of the complaint and the advertisers’ response. They noted that while the advertisers had removed the marketing communication in question, that they had not submitted any scientific evidence on the results of practical trials on human subjects to substantiate the claims made in their advertising. In the circumstances the Committee considered that the advertisement was in breach of Sections 2.9, 2.12, 9.1 and 9.2 of the Code.

    Action Required:
    The advertising should not be used in the same format again without adequate substantiation for the claims made.
