Irina Kossovskaia, 63, of Niagara Falls, has pleaded guilty in Dakota this week to one count of conspiracy to introduce misbranded medical devices into interstate commerce with the intent to defraud and mislead. She pleaded guilty in a scam to sell light-emitting devices by falsely claiming they could treat more than 200 medical conditions, including cancer, autism and HIV, Canadian Pres reports. CP says that U.S. court documents show the Kossovskaia, of Russian extraction, marketed and distributed devices known as the “QLaser System” through a firm called HealthBoss. They told people the items could safely and effectively treat a range of medical conditions at home. “The QLaser’s labelling falsely claimed that there was virtually no disorder or disease that the QLaser device could not potentially improve or cure,” evidence indicated.
