Buyer Beware: As Seen on TV Products That Are a Waste of Money
While some “As Seen on TV” products can be surprisingly useful, many are simply gimmicks or outright scams. Here are eight products you should avoid:
- Kush Support: Marketed as a support pillow for breastfeeding or post-surgery individuals, this product may actually cause more harm than good. One reviewer reported their doctor advised against using it due to the risk of milk duct blockage.
- My Secret Hair Enhancer: Promising thicker, more voluminous hair, this product is essentially an overpriced can of spray paint. Reviewers complain of staining and poor results.
- The Fat Magnet: This gadget, a piece of metal you freeze and use to skim fat from soups and stews, is less effective than a simple spoon.
- The “Backup” Mattress Shotgun Rack: This product raises serious safety concerns. Storing a loaded firearm under a mattress is incredibly dangerous and irresponsible.
- UroClub: This golf club disguised as a portable urinal is unsanitary, impractical, and potentially illegal to use on a golf course.
- Shake Weights: Despite their popularity, these weighted dumbbells offer no significant benefits over traditional weights.
- Zoomies: These hands-free binoculars are marketed for various activities, but reviewers report they are cheaply made and ineffective. Standard binoculars or a visit to your eye doctor are better options.
- Jawzrsize: This silicone chewing device claims to define your jawline but poses health risks, including choking and potential jaw misalignment.
Bottom Line:
While some “As Seen on TV” products are genuinely helpful, many are a waste of money and potentially harmful. Be skeptical of clever marketing and always research a product before purchasing. Protecting your health and your wallet is paramount.
