Taipei's Legal Affairs Bureau has established a task force to investigate chain medical beauty clinics following reports of systematic pinhole camera spying. Inspections at Saint-Eir and Airlie clinics revealed 'refund traps,' including unfair deductions for 'trial courses' and forcing customers to sign misleading consent forms for recording. As of May 15, 128 complaints have been filed. The city is considering a class-action lawsuit and has urged the central government to revise current regulations.
