Numerous independent studies of the device found it to be ineffective for enhancing athletic performance, and the manufacturer was forced to retract its claims in 2010.

The product was promoted through paid celebrity endorsements[2] and became a fad among professional sportsmen in 2010, leading one journalist to say that "a growing number of professional sportsmen and their attendants are starting to sound like New Age crystal healers."

Valt zonder twijfel onder de in de hele EEG geldende wet op de Oneerlijke Handelspraktijken.
De ConsumentenAutoriteit zou een voorbeeld kunnen nemen aan haar Australische zusterorganisatie:
Geld terug laten storten.

POWER-BALANCE erkent schuld aan misleiding, maar alleen als het daartoe wordt gedwongen zoals in Australië.
 

Power-Balance getest: Doet zoals viel te verwachten, geheel niets.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commissions (ACCC) has slammed sports technology company, Power Balance Australia, over its wristbands that claim to provide wearers with improved performance.

All users who purchased the wristbands can now get a refund if they feel they’ve been misled.
According to a statement from the ACCC, misleading advertising claims have been withdrawn by the vendor after the regulatory body’s intervention. The bands supposedly provided better balance, strength and flexibility by working with the body’s “natural energy field”.`

The company hired celebrities and sports stars to use and promote the device in sporting stores and over the Internet.

“Power Balance has admitted that there is no credible scientific basis for the claims and therefore no reasonable grounds for making representations about the benefits of the product,” it said in the statement. “Its conduct may have contravened the misleading and deceptive conduction section of the Trade Practices Act 1974.”
