Website description:
Websites are in Czech language and they offer product ReCardio which allegedly normalises blood pressure as well as restores tonus and flexibility of vessels.
What to watch out for:
1) The offered product gives the impression that a medicament is concerned. In fact it is a food supplement (thus a foodstuff is concerned).
2) The texts on the websites contain so-called medical claims and unauthorised health claims in relation to the foodstuff ReCardio, which is in contradiction to legislation
3) Certain mandatory information on the offered foodstuff ReCardio is missing on the website.
4) The operator of the websites uses unfair business practices.
5) Trade terms are in English language only, identification of the seller is missing, and consumers thus do not know who they conclude the purchasing contract with and under which conditions.
6) Internet domain recardiond.com is registered outside the territory of the CR and the domain name holder is from the Bahamas (Domain Admin, Whois Privacy Corp., Ocean Centre, Montagu Foreshore, East Bay Street, Nassau, New Providence, +1.5163872248). Furthermore, entity BERNADATTE LTD, Av Ricardo J. Alfaro, Panama International is indicated on the website, however, without detailed specification whether operator, seller, etc. is concerned.
7) Consumers fill an ordering form (name and phone number). They are then contacted by phone to confirm the order and to provide data necessary for the delivery of the consignment.
8) With regard to the fact that the entity administrating the Internet domain in question is located outside the territory of the CR, activities of Czech supervisory bodies towards the operator of the websites are very limited.
