Ji'nan consumers' Association: buying outdoor products must not be fooled by the gimmicks publicizing by businesses.
daily daily news October 4th (reporter Li Mengbo correspondent Wang Bing Du Taoyu) recently, the Ji'nan Municipal Council has received 6 cases of consumer complaints involving outdoor supplies. To this end, the Consumer Council of Ji'nan has issued a consumer warning. It should be vigilant when shopping in outdoor stores, and should not be fooled by the gimmick of product functions and brands.
resistance to ultraviolet, wind proof and waterproof functions, often become the publicity and selling point of outdoor products, but also have the opportunity to use consumers to prove it. In order to take part in the hiking activities in the southern mountainous area, Ms. Meng bought a suit of clothes at a street outdoor shop. "The salesperson told me that clothes are breathable and rain proof, and the same function is 1/4 of the price of the store." Ms. Meng said she could walk into the mountain, but she found that she was also wearing a charge, his teammates were very active, and she was hot and sweaty, especially when Ms Meng didn't mean to spill the water on the charge.
Ms. Meng, an angry lady, found the store with proof of clothing and clothes, and receipts, and other evidence. The store said there were no signs of "breathable rain" on the clothes and the receipt. Finally, the economic South City Consumer Council intervened in mediation, and the two sides finally returned the goods at a price of twenty percent off.
according to the Secretary General of the Consumer Council of Ji'nan, for outdoor clothing, it is more about fabric than style decision function. Due to the need for a certain knowledge base, illegal operators often use consumers to pursue the psychology of low price, which will not be suitable for outdoor sports fabrics to make outdoor clothing styles. In addition, producers deliberately add non existent foreign brands to inferior products to enhance deception.
