China News Service, June 16th. According to the China Consumers Association website, as people's living standards continue to improve and economic conditions continue to improve, more and more consumers are beginning to pay attention to and pursue quality consumption.
In order to cater to consumer demand, some so-called "quantum products" with labels such as "high-tech" and "health" have emerged on the market to attract consumers to buy.
Such as quantum skin care products, quantum health products, quantum beauty instruments, quantum insoles, quantum water cups, quantum pendants, quantum underwear, etc., "quantum products" have almost penetrated into all common consumer goods fields, and these products often claim to have relatively powerful functions. Such as "improving and alleviating various diseases of the body", "opening up the internal circulation", or superimposing "quantum energy", "negative ions" and "terahertz" and other concepts that sound very "tall".

Facing an endless stream of so-called “quantum products”, academician Pan Jianwei, Executive Vice President of the University of Science and Technology of China, Academician Guo Guangcan, director of the Key Laboratory of Quantum Information of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Tang Shibiao, deputy chief engineer of the National Shield Quantum Technology Co., Ltd., and other experts all stated that at present, Quantum technology is mainly used in the fields of quantum communication, quantum computing, and quantum precision measurement.
Because quantum technology has very demanding requirements on the experimental environment, the economic cost is relatively high, and it is difficult to be widely used in the civilian field. At present, all those under the banner of "quantum + daily necessities" are generally hype concepts and deceit.
People's Daily Online, Xinhuanet, CCTV and other media have also repeatedly clarified the concept of "quantum products".
Some consumers who have purchased so-called "quantum products" also stated that there is no claimed effect after use.
For example, Mr. Wang, a consumer from Mianchi County, Sanmenxia City, Henan Province, bought a hydrogen quantum footbath for 300 yuan in February 2021, claiming to be able to discharge body toxins, but there was no effect after use. Finally, under the mediation of Mianchi County Consumers Association A return was made.
Another example is that Mr. Yang, a consumer in Shanghai, bought a quantum mattress for 40,000 yuan in 2018. The merchant claimed that the mattress could treat low back pain, but after using it for a period of time, Mr. Yang found no effect, and finally had to sell it to the market. The supervisory authority makes a report.
It can be seen that the so-called "quantum products" in the current market do not bear the truth, and the magical effects in advertisements are also suspected of false propaganda.
It is understood that the market supervision departments in many places across the country have filed and investigated and dealt with the illegal business operations of enterprises using Quantum Technology as a gimmick, and the suspected criminals have been transferred to the public security organs.
The China Consumers Association urges relevant business operators to strictly abide by the "Consumer Rights Protection Law", "Advertising Law", "Anti-Unfair Competition Law" and other legal provisions, and to meet consumer demand for quality consumption by effectively improving the quality of products and services, instead of Deceive consumers through "mirages" created by "pseudo-technology" gimmicks and false propaganda.
At the same time, the China Consumers Association calls on relevant e-commerce platforms to earnestly assume the supervision and management responsibilities of the platform, thoroughly clean up illegal and illegal "quantum products" sold on the platform, purify the ecology of the online shopping market, and create a safe and secure consumer environment.
Finally, the China Consumers Association reminds consumers to remain rational in the face of endless "high-tech" products, not to trust the unilateral propaganda of merchants, to actively understand product knowledge, and to improve their ability to distinguish authenticity.
For things that are difficult for you to distinguish yourself, you can consult with relatives and friends or with local market supervision departments, consumer association organizations and other units to listen to opinions and suggestions from related parties.
