Recently, the weather in Guangdong Province was cold and cashmere sweater products entered the sales season. In order to understand the quality and safety of branded cashmere sweaters sold on the market, the Guangdong Provincial Consumer Commission launched a comparative trial of cashmere sweater products in circulation from November to December 2014. The test results were announced recently. It is understood that among the 20 batches of samples submitted, there are 6 batches of products that do not meet the standards for partial inspection items, and the overall compliance rate is 70%.
The comparative test sample was taken by the provincial Consumer Council staff as an ordinary consumer, adopting a combination of online and offline sampling methods. At the same time, Jingdong, Tmall, Vipshop, No. 1 store, Dangdang.com, and Amazon.com were selected. There are a total of 20 batches of large-scale e-commerce platforms, as well as major department stores and counters in Guangzhou. These samples come from production and sales companies in Inner Mongolia, Beijing, Shanghai, Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, with retail prices ranging from RMB 620 to RMB 1680. The brand involves Erdos ERDOS, Deer Cashmere, Saussurea, Heng Yuan Xiang and so on.
After testing, among 20 batches of samples, important quality indicators such as cashmere content, formaldehyde, pH, odor, decomposable aromatic amine dyes, color fastness, burst strength, collar pull-out size, garment twist angle, etc. Up to standard. However, there are 8 other projects that do not meet the standard requirements. From the perspective of sales channels, the compliance rate of physical stores is higher than that of online shopping. One item of two samples in the physical store sample failed to meet the standard requirements, one item was not standardized labeling (Western grassland brand), and one item was loose size change rate (Pierre Cardin brand); online shopping samples, there are four 6 samples were found to have failed to meet the standard requirements, 2 were marked with non-standard labeling (Artley, Seasheep brand), 3 were pilling (Ossi, Seasheep, Yishang), and 1 was lightfastness to light Does not meet (Artley brand).
The Consumer Council of Guangdong Province combined the results of this comparative trial. Consumers should be slightly longer and slightly wider when purchasing cashmere sweaters containing more than 90% cashmere so as to avoid wearing and aesthetics due to shrinkage caused by washing. Due to the high raw material cost of cashmere sweaters, 100% cashmere or products with high cashmere content, consumers should generally consider products with a unit price of more than 500 yuan when purchasing, and do not pursue low prices blindly.
