One of the most serious problems caused by the fraudulent adverts is insufficient or false information. Taking into consideration very important matters like health or life, one should remember that the dishonest producers may hurt somebody and their ads may lead even to illnesses. Such advertisements can expose danger to people e.g. swallowing pills not proper for them or buying a "safe" car that turns upside down instead of taking a turning. One of very popular products "Red Bull" is widely considered to be only sweet and tasty drink, while many people do not realise that it contains a huge amount of sugar and energetic additives, suitable for exhausted sportsmen, but not for an average thirsty person. Even purchasing some washing powder, customers risk, because the product sometimes turns to be good for nothing, e.g. does not remove stains.
