Gaps in global oversight fuel widespread increase in pseudoscientific product availability. Consumers often encounter these deceptive items online and through popular social platforms today.
Experts warn inadequate regulator control threatens the health of vulnerable populations worldwide.

These items proliferate rapidly wherever inspection and quality controls remain insufficient or weak. Authorities urge consumers to choose approved sources and stress strong inspection mechanisms’ necessity.
