TORONTO - Les craintes engendr?es par le virus de la grippe A(H1N1) peuvent faire gagner de l'argent ? certains entrepreneurs ou propri?taires de sites Internet qui se saisissent de l'occasion pour lancer de nouveaux produits ou faire la promotion de ceux d?j? pr?sents sur le march?.
Apparus en m?me temps que la grippe, certains de ces produits pr?tendent ?tre en mesure de pr?venir le virus, ou m?me de le soigner. Par exemple, une entreprise fait la promotion d'un nouveau masque respiratoire "? la mode" qui prot?gerait les individus contre la grippe A(H1N1), tandis qu'une autre tente de vendre un d?sinfectant pour les mains qui, selon elle, serait capable de "tuer" le virus.
Mais jusqu'? maintenant, il n'y a encore aucun vaccin qui est en mesure de combattre la nouvelle souche de la grippe.
La U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) et la Federal Trade Commission ont tous deux mis en garde le public am?ricain contre les sites Internet et les produits qui pr?tendent ?tre en mesure de diagnostiquer, pr?venir, limiter, traiter ou gu?rir la grippe A(H1N1).
Les repr?sentants canadiens et am?ricains estiment ?galement que le public devrait faire attention aux fraudes en provenance du web.
