In healthcare we all know the name Phillips and this may be a different division promoting the sex toys, vibrators or what ever it is they are now marketing. I did a screenshot of their healthcare page below. Where would these fit in? Any idea or am I maybe on the wrong page, since they are being marketed for health reasons, right? Bayer had to change their advertising saying it helped prevent prostate cancer.
Bayer Threatened with Lawsuit – Vitamin Product Does not Help Prevent Prostate Cancer
With all the recent news with the FDA approving advertising for consumer products with the likes of Cheerios and One-A-Day, etc. and calling Cheerios a drug, these devices are promising to reduce cancer and lower blood pressure, then I certainly want the FDA involved here as these products then should be classified as a medical device and consumers need to know that the device has received the approval from the FDA! (grin). How the FDA would propose to approve the products is their problem to figure out.
Cheerios Classified as a “Drug” by the FDA
Ok, there’s some humor here of course but what I am addressing here is the fact that devices as well as consumer consumable products and their advertising must all meet on the same level with professionalism and factual information with being able to backup 100% what is said about the products, agree? If Cheerios is a drug, is this a medical device I ask? We want truth in advertising here and correct identification of products that are in fact medical devices and/or consumables and the word “medical” not used just for the sake of marketing. BD
BERLIN (Reuters) – Always wanted to buy a sex-toy but cringed at the thought of entering one of those shops?
Dutch Philips Electronics may have a solution. Turn to a convenience store around the corner or online and a purple colored "sensual massagers" could be yours and it may even look nice on your bedside table.
With the launch of a new entry model at the consumer electronics trade show, IFA Philips is raising its presence in a multibillion market, it entered only one year ago, when it launched the products in the United Kingdom.
And it serves public health as well. "People who have a good sexual relationships live 12 years longer and look 10 years younger," Paula Hall, a sex and relationship expert who advised Philips in the process of designing and developing the toys.
"It actually reduces chances of getting cancer, heart deceases and lowers blood pressure," she claims.
