Hello Mums & Dads.
You may read in the NZ herald or our local paper that there was recently a complaint made about our website to the Advertising Standards Authority. We responded to the complaint and made some changes to the website which were accepted by the authority and the case was closed.
The complainant was unhappy about the way that MamaPukeko advertised amber necklaces as being useful for relieving pain and other symptoms associated with teething. As there is no scientific evidence of this, it broke the advertising rules and therefore I have changed the wording on the site. They also complained that we had set out to mislead parents and were offering unsafe advice and were acting in a socially irresponsible manner. Since my life's work is focused on the well-being of parents and babies, this would never be my intention.
While there may be no scientific evidence on how amber works or what it does , we know that there are a lot of happy parents with stories of how you believe the amber has helped your babies during teething!
If you have a story, we would love it if you could post your comments on our website by visiting the link below:

By putting it on the website, this helps other parents make up their own minds about amber and as it would meet that advertising rules, it would stop busy bodies making complaints in the future.
Thanks for your help!

Here are just some of the comments from our customers on how their Amber products have helped them. We are continually amazed at how amber teething necklaces have helped their baby’s teething or how amber bracelets for adults have helped pain, arthritis, gout or eczema.
