For immediate release 


STATEMENT FROM:  THE NATIONAL BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION

REGARDING “ACAIBURN” and “WU-YI” PRODUCTS


The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) has unsuccessfully taken all steps possible to

identify the vendor of the ‘AcaiBurn’

and ‘Wu-Yi’

range of products

which falsely claim an

association with the NBCF.


The use of the NBCF name and logo in relation to the sale of these products is unauthorised and

the NBCF is not associated with any Acai berry based products.


Consumers have complained to the NBCF that automatic deductions continue to be made on their

credit cards without their authority.


The NBCF recommends that consumers who have purchased products in this range and cannot

cease payment as they wish should report the transaction to their bank as it may be considered a

case of credit card fraud.


The NBCF recommends that consumers call 1800 000 118 to check with the NBCF before

purchasing any products relating to ‘AcaiBurn’ or ‘Wu-Yi’ that

claim

an association with the

NBCF.
