Changing Clothing Labels Without Authorization Constitutes Fraud

The National Technical Code for Basic Safety of Textile Products was officially implemented on August 1. However, some illegal businesses continued to sell the substandard clothing labels after "changing their appearance", cheating consumers. In this regard, the industry and commerce department of Liaoning Province reminded that merchants' tampering with clothing labels constituted fraud, and consumers should timely complain.

With the implementation of the new national textile regulations, the formaldehyde content, PH value and other indicators of clothing products have been modified, and more strict quality control has been implemented.

However, in some shopping malls in Shenyang clothing Still on sale. What's more, the merchants "upgraded" the original Class B clothing label with a new label to the more strict Class A clothing index.

"The clothing industry is under great inventory pressure, so we can't throw away all these clothes," said a person in charge of a clothing store.

In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the industry and commerce department of Liaoning Province said that commodity labels are an important way for consumers to understand the material and quality of products. Merchants' unauthorized tampering with labels in the circulation link infringes consumers' right to know, which has constituted fraud. In this case, consumers should timely complain.

The National Technical Code for Basic Safety of Textile Products is a mandatory national standard formulated in accordance with the Standardization Law of the People's Republic of China, the Product Quality Law of the People's Republic of China and other laws and regulations.

Various dyes, auxiliaries and other finishing agents should be added to textile products in the process of printing, dyeing and finishing. These finishing agents contain or produce harmful substances to human body more or less. When harmful substances remain on textiles and reach a certain amount, they will cause harm to people's skin and even human health. Therefore, it is necessary to put forward the most basic technical requirements for safety of textile products, so that textile products can guarantee human health and personal safety in the process of production, circulation and consumption.

In view of the extensive role of textile products, this technical specification clearly defines the scope of application. The products that do not fall within the scope of this technical specification are listed in Appendix A.
