Discussion: Who Confused The Label Of Textile And Clothing?

As everyone knows, Label The more detailed, consumers can learn more about product information. However, if the label information is inconsistent, the information on the label does not conform to the actual product, which brings a lot of confusion and trouble to consumers. Recently, the reporter visited the market and found that the label of clothing is very confusing. Not only what is specified, what is not labeled, but also what is not uniform, it will be very different from what is marked on the label of a product.

Status quo: self contradictory, misnomer, clothing market generally stickers.

A newspaper recently published a report that Wuhan citizen Gao Zhujun bought a piece of goods in a shopping mall in Hanyang district for 528 yuan. Sino mirable When the shirt came home, Mr. Gao found that the label on the inside and outside label of the shirt was inconsistent. The label on the shirt contains 65% cotton, while the outer sales label shows a marked 100% pure cotton. Mr. Gao invested 400 yuan at his own expense and sent the product to a testing institution in Wuhan. The inspection report showed that the cotton shirt content of Mr. Gao was 51.8%, and 26.3% of the polyester fiber and 21.9% of the sticky fiber were inconsistent with the contents of the labels on the inside and outside labels. Coincidentally, in March this year, other newspapers also published two similar reports. The consumers also questioned the fabric contents on the labels, so they sent the merchandise to professional organizations for testing. The results were indeed different from the label information.

This shows that the label of textile and clothing has attracted the attention of the media and has been reported repeatedly. In order to further understand the issue of clothing labels, recently, reporters visited Weihai's clothing market. Reporters in the uniform Road Pedestrian Street clothing market survey found that the market is currently selling clothing labels confusion is very serious. Not only does the content of labels inside and outside the garment are inconsistent, labels are arbitrary, even a considerable part of the labels are not sold. At a clothing store on the north shore road, a reporter randomly picked up a T-shirt and found that the label was "75% cotton content and 25% polyester fiber". However, the small label on the inside collar showed that the wool content was 65% and the anti pilling fiber content was 35%. Not only the contents of the two labels were quite different, but also the two label prices were inconsistent. Later, the reporter looked at other clothes, a brand of black trousers with "natural margin". There was a white label marked "100%Cotton" in the waist of the waist of the trousers, and a black tag hung outside the trousers. On the top, it simply labeled the brand: natural margin; grade: first class; inspection: 02. Important information about fabric composition and content is not indicated. For clothing labels, the reporter consulted the salesmen in the store. The clerk said she didn't know much about it. Maybe the shipper had posted the wrong label, but this phenomenon is very common, and few consumers question it.

According to the information collected by reporters, as early as in March this year, Zhejiang satellite TV's news investigation program had reported that some sweater manufacturers had marked the clothing label. The producers of Zhejiang satellite TV's unannounced visits said that many brands were directly selling wholesale sweaters without labels from them. Then they went back to their own labels to mark a wool content, then raise their prices and sell them to shopping malls and stores, and then change or add labels according to their sales needs. In view of this, the current textile and garment market in China Label stickers The phenomenon has become a secret known to everyone in the industry.

In addition to the confusion in the contents and contents of clothing fabrics, the reporter also learned that many washing labels in the sale of clothing also have big problems. At present, there are a lot of clothes on the market which are slightly higher in grade. No matter what materials are used, they will be marked "dry clean" only. It seems that dry cleaning has become a label of clothing grade. However, an industry insider of dry cleaning industry told reporters that in fact, 70% of the clothes in the market are only suitable for water washing, and can not be dry cleaned. Only natural leather and fiber, such as wool, cashmere and silk, need dry cleaning. Other cotton and linen fabrics are more suitable for washing. "Many garment manufacturers in order to highlight the product grade, paste stickers, regardless of the actual material composition of their clothing, all label" dry clean "word misleading consumers. The industry pointed out that washing labels for textile and clothing, there is no domestic rigid regulations, so many manufacturers are driven by interest driven random label label phenomenon is very common.

Attribution: Dress labels to make national related technical specifications as "decoration" at will.

"Today's clothing tag is simply another layer of clothing. Besides designing and printing beautifully, modeling materials need a lot of thought. I have done plastic, metal, rubber, leather, wooden, and even credit card special materials, anti fake material hanging tag. Only the tag shows the noble and elegant corporate culture connotation, so that the product can be seen on the top and consumers can buy comfort. For the current situation of stickers in the textile and clothing market, Ms. Zhang, a designer specializing in the production of clothing labels, told reporters. According to Zhang, for clothing labels, they are printed directly on the basis of data supplied by manufacturers, and do not need to provide professional testing reports and related procedures. "The market is focused on profits. Now business is bad and competition is fierce. In addition, the label of clothing is not a rigid document for our design company. What we need is what we need to produce. Ms. Zhang said frankly.

Subsequently, the reporter read the relevant information to understand that since August 2012, the new version of the national basic safety technical specification for textile products issued by the state has not specified the contents of the labels for textile labels in different categories. Only special requirements for textile labels of special textiles, such as infants and young children, are required, requiring that they must meet the labeling requirements for class a of the highest safety class. However, judging from the current clothing market, even the labels of infants and young children's textile and clothing products are clearly different. The relevant national technical regulations are only "furnishings", and there are still a large number of brands. Infant clothing No label is set according to the label.

In order to further understand the related causes of textile and garment label confusion in the market, the reporter made a special call to the Weihai Consumers Association. Relevant staff of the Consumer Association told reporters that the current pattern of clothing label confusion has not been significantly improved. First, lack of supervision and lack of relevant laws and regulations; two, the relevant laws and regulations are not strict enough. This leads consumers to be unable to protect their legitimate rights and interests through legal channels, and can only get private conciliation compensation results. For example, when consumers are questioning their clothing products in terms of fiber content and label labels, if they do not accord with the label labels, if they take the garments to the testing organizations at their own expense, even if the test results show that the fiber content of the inspection products is not in conformity with the labels, the test report can not help consumers win corresponding rights and interests in legal cases.

"Consumers buy clothes from shopping malls and take them for inspection. In the process, no one can prove that clothes are original." The staff regret to say, so it is very likely that consumers will not be able to protect their rights after a lawsuit. The shopping mall can basically see the psychology of consumers, and seize this point to negotiate with consumers. Usually such cases are settled in private. Such a low-key approach has helped the illegal traders continue to ignore the fact that they are making stickers for profits. On the whole, China's relevant laws on consumer rights protection still need to further enhance the degree of rigour and meticulous, so as to protect the true rights of consumers.

Measures: the relevant laws and regulations urgently need to be promulgated to control the confusion of labels, we should increase penalties.
