Now that 618 has arrived, what products are in your "shopping cart"?
On June 16th, in order to rectify 618 commodities, the reporter of "Financial Investigation" personally visited a place in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province to investigate, and really found some problems, and also revealed the "trap" behind the latex bedding to the public.
It is reported that most of the latex pillows sold in China are from here, in order to harvest better sales, merchants deliberately use pillows with "lavender", "graphene" and other materials as gimmicks, while enriching the appearance of pillows, advertise that they have the effect of "treatment" and "health care", attracting many consumers to buy.
Under the flickering of the merchants, latex pillows with a cost of dozens of yuan can be sold for thousands of yuan, and the profits are unimaginably high.
Fortunately, technology has become more and more developed in recent years, and many people will often look at the comment area when buying goods, and there are many fewer people who buy, but there are still some people who are fooled.
After learning the news, many netizens expressed their opinions, and the comment area exploded instantly.
A latex pillow that became a hit
With the development of society, people have a higher pursuit of living standards, and more and more people have begun to pay attention to the quality of "sleep" and improve physical health.
A few years ago, latex pillows suddenly appeared in the public eye, compared with traditional pillows, its elasticity is more superior, and the bearing capacity is stronger.
In order to increase sales, many merchants praise latex pillows on the grounds of "improving cervical spine health", "pure latex imported from Thailand" and "natural environmental protection" to attract customers to buy.
According to the survey, natural latex is indeed an environmentally friendly material, it is a natural substance extracted from rubber trees, after factory processing, into an elastic milk, generally no harm to the human body.
I am afraid that the merchants use artificial latex and synthetic latex, and we must be vigilant and try to avoid contact with them.
In terms of service life, merchants also say that it is not much of a problem to use ten or eight years, but in fact? Many consumers have all kinds of quality problems not long after they buy them.
The most important thing is that the price of latex pillows is not cheap, most of them are hundreds of yuan, some "Thai original" latex pillows, one can be sold for thousands of yuan, it is really not cheap, it will break down in a few days, who can accept this.
There is a problem with an inferior latex pillow
Some netizens reacted that these latex pillows cut corners and had a proper IQ tax, which has nothing to do with the "negative ion latex" advertised by the merchants, let alone imported. Good guys, this is not pure fraud.
Some netizens also reacted that the pillow they bought at a huge cost and at a high price had an incredible problem after less than a month of use-powdering.
When touched by hand, these powders instantly adhere to the surface of the human body, which looks quite scary. If these powders are toxic and people sleep on latex pillows, they may suck the powder into the human body and have an impact on human health, which is more than worth the loss.
Nowadays, with the rise of the live streaming industry, more and more people choose to buy goods on the short video platform, such as latex pillows, which many people sold in the past few years, or when they travel and play in a certain scenic spot, there are shops on the street to promote and do activities, and many people can't resist the temptation of price and choose to buy latex pillows.
But did you know that such latex pillows are very likely to have quality problems, and in serious cases, they may even endanger people's lives.
In general, it is the latex pillow or latex mattress sold on the market, you should not easily believe in the purchase, after all, many goods on the market are good and bad, like latex series products, it is easy to "fake" and deceive consumers.
So what kind of latex pillows did the reporter mentioned at the beginning investigate? What are the problems?
The latex pillow with a cost of more than 20 yuan was sold for thousands of yuan
After the reporter came to a place in Wenzhou, under the leadership of a person familiar with the matter, he successfully found a staff member of the company and inquired in detail about the production of latex pillows.
In the face of the camera, the staff did not dare to hide anything, and honestly answered the questions asked by reporters, and she also mentioned that the colored latex pillows and mattresses in the factory were specially prepared for tourist attractions.
Normally, the color of latex pillows is white, but in this factory, there are also many brown, black and purple products, the reason why they are prepared for tourist attractions is mainly because tourists like latex pillows with color.
In addition, the seller also said that lavender is added to the inside of the pillow to make it have the effect of antispasmodic and analgesic, calming and calming the nerves, and some pillows also add "graphene" to relieve cervical spine pressure.
It is precisely because of these materials attached to the pillow that the latex pillow becomes more attractive, but its price is more expensive than that of the general latex pillow, which can be sold for more than 1,000 yuan.
However, whether it is lavender or graphene, it is a gimmick sold by merchants, and the staff bluntly said that graphene will not really be added to the product, after all, a kilogram of graphene is more than 100,000 yuan, how can it be bought? So it's all a lie.
In order to further increase the sales of latex pillows, merchants have repeatedly claimed that the latex content in the products is more than 90% in tourist attractions and live broadcast rooms, and some latex pillows will even use 100% pure latex, so is this true?
According to the staff, 100% pure latex pillows and mattresses do not exist, and if the latex content inside the pillow is more than 93%, it means that this is a better quality latex pillow. Because in the manufacturing process, workers usually need to add some additives, such as foaming agents, oxidants and so on.
In fact, as early as 2021, the government department issued a statement about the natural latex composition in the latex cushion core, as long as it is not less than 88%, it is normal.
However, in order to save costs, some businesses deliberately cut corners, reduce the use of latex, and add talcum powder to keep the amount of latex at about 80%, and this product is prone to powder loss.
Some people will also manipulate the size of the pillow and deliberately reduce the size, in order to obtain more considerable benefits and seriously deceive consumers.
The most terrible thing is that some inferior latex products on the market need to add styrene-butadiene latex to increase the quality of pillows in the production process, once the operation is improper, it is easy to produce volatile toxic gases, that is, styrene, which will cause serious harm to the human body.
In addition to styrene-butadiene latex, nitrosamines, which are carcinogens and can cause damage to the human body when exposed to long-term exposure, are also present in some latex pillows.
Therefore, when you buy latex products, you must take precautions, it is best to smell the taste first, if it is milk or other fragrances, it is best not to buy it, after all, the pillow is natural latex, and it is normal for the "rubber smell" to be strong.
After reading the report of "CCTV Finance", many netizens felt incredible and said bluntly: "Tell me, what else is true?" ”
Of course, in addition to latex pillows, overseas purchasing products also need everyone's attention, after all, overseas express information can actually be forged by lawbreakers.
It is hoped that the state's regulatory departments can strengthen supervision and control, so that fake and shoddy products will not flow into the market and harm the people.
