A netizen browses a logo of Hebei Hualin Acid-Base Biotechnology Co in Huaibei city, east China's Anhui province, 15 January 2019. Heads of a health products company in Hebei province have been held by police on suspicion of organizing pyramid schemes, a government-led investigation team said on Tuesday (15 January 2019). The company - Hebei Hualin Acid-Base Biotechnology Co - was accused last week in media reports of making exaggerated and false claims in advertisements and being involved in pyramid schemes. The local government in Huanghua, a county-level city in Cangzhou, Hebei, where the company is based, began an investigation into the company on Sunday. After a two-day investigation, the primary managers of Hualin and related people were detained by police, according to investigators, who added that a thorough investigation will continue and anyone found responsible for misbehavior will be punished. On Jan 9, Henan Metropolitan Channel, a television station in Henan province, reported that Hualin was selling a type of health equipment that its employees claimed could promote the acid-base balance of the human body through electrotherapy. In the report, a female massage therapist surnamed Hu said the equipment, the Acid-Base DDS Cosmetology Health Massager, can send out a current and transmit it through her body to a patient's body while she is doing a massage. The therapy process can help expel toxins from the body and adjust the acid-base balance, thereby curing diseases, Hu was quoted as saying. The equipment had not been approved for sale by the government.
