Siasat produk jenama peruncitan dalam talian terkenal dunia – CAP
Persatuan Pengguna Pulau Pinang (CAP) memohon pihak berkuasa supaya menyiasat produk satu jenama peruncitan dalam talian terkenal di dunia kerana didakwa mempunyai bahan kimia toksik yang tinggi.
Presidennya, Mohideen Abdul Kader berkata, penemuan bahan kimia tersebut dikesan pihak berkuasa Bandaraya Seoul terhadap produk kanak-kanak yang dikeluarkan oleh jenama tersebut.
Menurut Mohideen, berdasarkan laporan berita, pihak berkuasa Seoul menjalankan pemeriksaan keselamatan sejak bulan lalu berikutan kebimbangan keselamatan yang semakin meningkat mengenai produk yang dijual oleh platform e-dagang dari China itu.
“Maklumat terkini mendedahkan bahawa tujuh daripada lapan produk yang diuji mengandungi bahan kimia toksik iaitu formaldehid dan ftalat melebihi had keselamatan. Sebagai contoh, sepasang kasut kanak-kanak mengandungi ftalat melebihi had yang dibenarkan iaitu 428 kali.
“Ftalat akan memudaratkan sistem pembiakan, neurologi dan kanak-kanak akan menjadi rentan manakala formaldehid pula, ia boleh mengakibatkan ketoksikan sistemik yang teruk, kerosakan tisu dan organ,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan pada Selasa.
Mohideen menambah, populariti jenama terkenal dengan fesyen di seluruh dunia itu menyebabkan pihak berkuasa di Korea Selatan dan Kesatuan Eropah berminat untuk melihat dengan lebih dekat amalan perniagaan dan standard keselamatannya.
“Perkara ini amat membimbangkan kerana ia merupakan salah satu platform e-dagang dalam talian yang popular di Malaysia terutamanya dalam kalangan belia.
“Berdasarkan kepada situasi itu, CAP menggesa pihak berkuasa kita untuk segera menjalankan ujian keselamatan produk yang dijual oleh jenama tersebut kerana ia didapati mengandungi bahan kimia yang sangat berbahaya,” tambahnya lagi.
Beliau turut menasihatkan pengguna untuk sentiasa basuh pakaian baru sebelum memakainya untuk menyingkirkan lapisan kimia toksik.
“Pengguna juga dinasihatkan supaya elak membeli daripada jenama yang tidak telus mengenai proses pembuatannya.
“Pengguna juga perlu mengelak atau mengurangkan membeli pakaian atau barangan yang dilabelkan sebagai tahan kotoran, air atau bau,” katanya. Sinar
Korean govt finds high levels of toxic chemicals in Shein products
SEOUL: Children’s products sold by the Chinese-founded online shopping giant Shein contained toxic substances in amounts hundreds of times above acceptable levels, the government of South Korea’s capital Seoul said Tuesday.
Shein, headquartered in Singapore, has skyrocketed in popularity around the world in recent years, offering a vast selection of trendy clothes and accessories at stunningly low prices.
This explosive growth has also led to increased scrutiny of its business practices and safety standards, including in the European Union and South Korea – where Seoul authorities have been conducting weekly inspections of items sold by platforms including Shein, Temu and AliExpress.
In the latest round, they selected eight products sold by Shein, including children’s shoes, leather bags and a belt and found several to contain high amounts of phthalates – chemicals used to soften plastics.
One pair of shoes contained 428 times the permitted levels of phthalates – the highest observed so far during the Seoul inspections – and three bags had amounts as high as 153 times the limit, the city government said.
Phthalates are widely used to soften plastic and are found in thousands of products including containers, beauty products and toys. However, they have been known for decades to cause hormone disruptions and have been linked to obesity, heart disease, some cancers and fertility problems.
Seoul city official Park Sang-jin told AFP they had requested removal of these products from sale, and said that since the city began inspections in April, most platforms have complied with such requests.
A Shein spokesperson told AFP the company “takes product safety very seriously.”
The company requires its suppliers to comply with its controls and standards, and works with international third-party testing agencies to ensure compliance with product safety standards, it said.
“Upon learning of any claim against our products, we immediately remove the product(s) from our site as a matter of caution whilst conducting our investigations,” it said, adding it takes appropriate follow-up action “if non-compliance is verified.”
So far, Seoul authorities said they have inspected 93 products and found that almost half of them contained toxic substances. These items include children’s watches and colouring pencils.
Last month, the European Union added Shein to its list of digital firms that are big enough to come under stricter safety rules – including measures to protect customers from unsafe products, especially those that could be harmful to minors.
Shein and Temu have followed Chinese e-commerce titan Alibaba in challenging Amazon, especially by making inroads in the US market. AFP
