BBC Edits Dragons' Den Episode Following Controversy Over ME Treatment Claims

A disclaimer was added to the episode after complaints about unfounded claims made by Acu Seeds entrepreneur Giselle Boxer.

Giselle Boxer, a businesswoman from Sheffield, pitched her Acu Seeds product on Dragons' Den, claiming it aided her recovery from myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).
Following complaints about the promotion of unfounded claims, the BBC edited the episode to include a disclaimer stating that Acu Seeds are not intended as a cure for any medical condition.
Action for ME, an advocacy group, expressed concern that the pitch suggested the product was responsible for Boxer's recovery and should therefore be considered an effective treatment.
The episode, which originally aired on 18 January, was temporarily removed from iPlayer for review and editing.
All six Dragons made an offer for the Acu Seeds product, a record achievement in the show's history.
