China’s pharmaceutical watchdog has warned 16 companies that they risk losing their advertising licenses after they published “illegal” ads that exaggerated the benefits of their products.

The 16 ads for drugs and medical equipment were identified by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) on its website Wednesday.
