Look at the (amusing) images on the website [5gbioshield.com]
They are not jamming anything. They are careful to note they are SHIELDING you from 5G. By way of a "wearable holographic nano-layer catalyser"...
That also expands depending on environment, again refer to images.:-)
Now you are argue about how much shielding a USB stick on your person might offer, as opposed to a full body aluminum suit. But it's not like they are doing anything illegal, just preying on the stupid and ignorant - a time honored profession.
A quick read suggests that they didn't claim anything that was false (I didn't check all their claims). It's pretty easy to honestly say something like "protects from all know harmful effects of 5G radiation" because there are no known harmful effects. It claims to work without using electricity. It claims to have been developed and certified by a particular scientist, which I didn't verify.
"The 5GBioShield makes it possible, thanks to a uniquely applied process of quantum nano-layer technology, to balance the imbalanced electric oscillations arising from all electric fog induced by all devices such as: laptops, cordless phones, wlan, tablets, etc.," the company says, adding that the USB stick "brings balance into the field at the atomic and cellular level restoring balanced effects to all harmful (ionized and non-ionized) radiation."
The USB stick apparently doesn't need to be plugged in to anything to work its magic. "It is always ON and working—that's why we used quantum nano-layer technology," the company says in an FAQ.
But the device allegedly produces a wider field of protection when it is plugged in. To answer the question of whether the stick needs to be "charged regularly," the FAQ says, "No—the input charge only expands the field effect from 4m radius to 20m + radius when plugged into an USB wall charger or a computer."
How many false claims just in these few paragraphs? You have to squint REALLY hard through solicitor-smeared glasses to claim this isn't outright fraud. It's a cheap 128MB USB stick with a small plastic crystal molded on the end, topped with a small sticker.
Still illegal though because under UK law any claimed health benefits, even if they are protecting against non-existent things, have to be proven.
There was a case a few years ago that send certain parts of the press into a fever rage where the EU ruled that bottled water couldn't claim to treat dehydration. Reason being that dehydration is not only caused by not consuming enough water, and drinking water doesn't always work. The rules are quite strict about medical claims.

Not doing anything illegal? We apparently have very different definitions for that term. They're making easily disproved, fraudulent claims.

quantum nano-layer technology
That's the holographic sticker. Nanometer thick layer of aluminum deposited on it, and these diffraction holograms do use quantum effects.
The rest of it is saying it will protect you from any non-existent things that exist.
expands the field effect from 4m radius to 20m + radius when plugged into an USB wall charger or a computer.
That is to say, the blue light comes on and you can see it from further away.
Well, they had to do something with the box of old 128Mb decorative USB sticks they found in the back of the cupboard.

In this case the placebo effect would be easily proven.

"the EU ruled that bottled water couldn't claim to treat dehydration"
While not always 100% effective (as no medication ever is), it shouldn't take a doctor to claim water can be used to treat hydration.
