WAL-MART Sells Carcinogenic Clothing? Market Supervision Department Intervened

Recently, some people reported to the media.

(China) Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "WAL-MART") sells children's clothing that fails to meet the standards, and has issued a test report of Shenzhen Metrology quality inspection and Research Institute as a proof.

In September 20th, informants Sun Zhongmin and reporters went to WAL-MART to seek a statement, but so far, headquarters have not yet made relevant explanations and responses.

According to Sun Zhongmin, in August 10th, he felt that the short sleeved T-shirt of a boy bought in Xixiang Street Jinhai WAL-MART was strange and sent to the Shenzhen Institute of Metrology and quality testing.

According to the report issued by the Inspection Institute in August 16th, the red dye part of T shirt was detected in the scope of the test. The aromatic amine contained in the standard regulation was banned, the name is 2, 4- two amino toluene, the content is 28mg/kg.

The report is numbered as "WT124077248".

According to the national basic safety technical specification for textile products, the standard requirement for aromatic amines is "forbidden (limited value) less than 20mg/kg".

The comparative test report points out that most azo dyes do not have harmful effects on human body, but azo dyes containing carcinogenic aromatic amines can cause harm to the human body.

According to the report, the dye on the fabric will be absorbed by the skin and spread in the body, causing carcinogenic aromatic amine to induce cancer or cause allergy.

In September 20th, Sun Zhongmin, a former WAL-MART clothing supplier with 15 years of experience in cloth industry, came to WAL-MART again to ask for a statement.

Reporters at WAL-MART also saw two staff members of the Shenzhen market supervision authority Futian branch, and two staff members said they had come to see the WAL-MART children's clothing sales point and the staff of the store to learn about the situation.

Sun Zhongmin, an informant, detected the "problem" children's clothes at WAL-MART.

Sun Zhongmin told reporters that in September 17th, he also found the children's clothing that failed to meet the standards in WAL-MART. "At the store site, I took the way of smell and rubbing clothes and discovered the problem that the adult coat made by a trade limited company in Guangzhou was not up to standard.

These clothes smelled of peculiar smell, rubbing the corners of the clothes on the labels, and found that there was something wrong with the color fastness of the clothes. The exact information had to be verified by the Institute of quality inspection.

But at present, the batch of children's clothing has been "off".

Sun Zhongmin found WAL-MART's "poor" clothing with poor color fastness in Jing Tian.

When the market supervisors asked WAL-MART staff to produce the relevant entry documents for clothing products, WAL-MART staff said that the shipment and return of WAL-MART store products were all unified by WAL-MART headquarters. If the product orders were required, they should be checked at headquarters.

How do WAL-MART stores deal with unqualified or seasonal clothes? Staff say they will return the goods to headquarters.

The staff also said that all goods on the shelves of Shenzhen WAL-MART will go through.

Government departments sampled, and the recent sampling inspection found no problems.

Because Sun Zhongmin thought the quality of the batch of children's clothing had been "off", today's law enforcement department's on-site inspection has not found that the goods are not up to standard, and can not take relevant measures to investigate and punish. The two staff members of Futian branch said they would report the relevant situation to their superiors, and they would supervise the sampling of the shopping malls.

Subsequently, Sun Zhongmin and reporters rushed to WAL-MART headquarters to interview. After half an hour's waiting, Hong Qifu, the senior manager of WAL-MART's business affairs, appeared and made a statement. WAL-MART's senior leaders were meeting to discuss the matter. WAL-MART will investigate the matter. He promised to reply to reporters by mail or telephone by afternoon or tomorrow. The Shenzhen news network reporter will continue to report on this matter.

Sun Zhongmin said he had worked very well with WAL-MART before.

Last year, because of a single 1 million 150 thousand yuan supply contract, the contradiction between the two sides intensified.

Sun Zhongmin said WAL-MART returned unilaterally after its shipment.

Mr. Sun Zhongmin, the acting attorney, said that the 90% reason for the return of Sun Zhongmin's goods was "excessive inventory", and there were some quality problems in the small part.
