The celebrated Chinese actor is under fire for endorsing an allegedly cancerous shampoo…
Jackie Chan has ran into some serious trouble for endorsing a Chinese shampoo brand which is reportedly cancerous. A journalist from the Next magazine told the court recently how lab reports suggest that the BaWang shampoo, which is being endorsed by Jackie Chan is cancerous.
BaWang International has in turn sued the Next magazine for publishing an allegedly false article which has let to a 20 percent slumps in the company’s share price. The defamation case worth HK$630 million is filed by BaWang International.
The article which was written by Lam Yu-ting alleges that the shampoo contained carcinogenic substance 1,4-Dioxane and long-term contact could harm liver function and even cause cancer!
The hearing continues but we are yet to find out whether or not Jackie will quit the shampoo company as it’s brand ambassador. Considering that he is such a celebrated actor in China we are guessing that Chan will uphold his moral obligations and discontinue being BaWang’s brand ambassador.
What are your thoughts on this?
