00:00Despite being worn by Spain's Minister of Health, the power balance bracelet has been
00:10officially labeled a scam by the Andalusian government, which has fined the company for
00:14deceptive advertising.
00:17The fine, a modest €15,000 according to consumer association Facua, addresses the
00:23false claim that the bracelets contain a hologram with frequencies that positively interact
00:28with the body's natural energy field to enhance balance, strength, and flexibility.
00:35It's worth noting that Power Balance has sold over 300,000 bracelets in Spain, each priced
00:40between €35 and €42, making the fine equivalent to the revenue from just 428 bracelets.
00:49This small penalty is in line with the law, specifically Article 35B, one of the General
00:55Health Law, which stipulates fines ranging from €3,006 to €15,025 for such violations.
01:04Ruben Sanchez from Facua highlights the sociological aspect of this issue, suggesting that many
01:10people will likely continue to purchase these bracelets, driven by a belief that, it works
01:15for me, or a willingness to try it out without much to lose.
