CCTV Exposes Inferior Down Products Filled with Silk Instead of Down
Winter has arrived, and down jackets, down quilts and other down products have become popular in the market. However, some "fake down products" are rampant in both online and offline markets. In some live-streaming rooms, there are some down quilts that claim to be affordable and of good quality. The financial reporter of the Central Television Station went to Nantong City, Jiangsu Province to conduct an undercover investigation of these e-commerce companies. From the staff, it was learned that the filling of the down quilts sent to consumers' homes is not down, but "silk", and the quality inspection reports and down filling labels are fake. The live-streaming bloggers revealed that they use "silk" to fill the quilts instead of "down". In this way, the finished products are almost indistinguishable in appearance and have a very similar feel, which is a core means to control costs. (CCTV Finance)
