Several tourists complained that they were guided to buy "medicinally soaked silver jewelry" in Yanyuan County, Liangshan Prefecture. A case has been filed against the three sellers involved.
There is no record or evidence that wearing or using silver jewelry can cure diseases. If the so-called'medicinal silver' does not have the effect claimed by the seller, the seller may be suspected of false publicity or unfair competition. The price of silver jewelry sold in the Lugu Lake scenic area was nearly twice as high as the market.
