[Resolved]  Hindustan Unilever Ltd./ Lifebuoy Soap — Misleading Ad

In the current TV ad for Lifebuoy Soap the company claims to have conducted a survey wherein the occupents of one building using this product were found more immune to dieseases than the occupent of other building using other soaps.
If the claims made by the company are correct then, in the interest of the not so stupid consumers, it would be fair for the company to inform the consumers
1. Time when the survey was conducetd.
2. Place where the survey was conducted.
3. Methodology of survey

Thats right. The ad says that the soap was used 5 times a day- In what way? 5 baths, 5 hand washes... its not clear. plus the fine print is too fine for comfort, and is displayed for too short a duration to be read by human eyes. When i emailed the company regarding this, and asked for the details of the study, they asked for my phone no. I refused, and told them to email me the details. They haven't replied to my mails for a week. Something's fishy!!!
Sir,
I have been using lifebuoy plus international soap for more than 10 years. It was superb. You have stopped it unfortunately. So I have jumped to Dettol soap. So please I request you to produce lifebuoy plus international soap again. Lot of people tell the same thing to me. So it may affect your business. So please produce Lifebuoy plus international soap again. Your other soaps are not filling the place of Lifebuoyplus international soap. Thanking you,

S.Sundari.

Hi, I have been using lifebuoy plus international soap (early it was called lifebuoy personal If i remeber it right) right from the time it was launched, suddenly I see it is gone, not sure why such decisioin by the company, the new lifebuoy is no good for me, I have tried it, and now shifted to Dettol, I will surely use lifebouy plus international if it is launched back in the same old form or better. I wrote to Lifebuoy but there has been no response from them.

Moreover the advt says one thousand boys from building A were using Lifebuoy soap and none of the thousand boys in Building B used Lifebuoy. Which skyscraper in India can give you this size of a sample? The improvement seen is in School attendance. To which schools were the boys going? How did they gain access to school attendance records of so many schools? Lifebuoy being a common soap how come boys in Building B are not using it on their own. Definitely a percentage of boys must be using Lifebuoy.

If they had studied attendance records for one year in a few schools, then gave all the boys free Lifebuoy to use 5 times a day for a year, then compared the attendance rates then we may conclude certain things safely. The whole study seems fishy, cooked up and aimed at stupid gullible mothers. I consider this ad unreliable, naive and idiotic.
Sir,

I have been using Lifebuoy International Plus for the past 3 years and I found it useful in many ways of daily life. It is effective in fighting pimples, and other skin allergies that I generally get. It's smell is good and not so strong like the other so-called antibacterial soaps. This is the only and the only soap I ever found perfect for my total family. Unfortunately, its production has been stopped and I've been struggling to get a soap as good as Lifebuoy International Plus.

This soap really rocks.

I'm really missing the soap.

It would be just great if you restart the production of Lifebuoy International Plus.

Thank you...
can any one suggest the alternative brand for lifebuoy international plus
