Parkland Children's Wear responded to random inspections: 7-year quality control fee

Parkland CEO Luo Jianfan

In recent times, children's clothing quality and safety problems have frequently occurred, and the parents' safety index has again decreased. Industry insiders worry that the phenomenon of Sanlu milk powder is repeating itself in the fashion industry. In the face of unease and doubts from consumers, the CEO of Beijing Parklane CEO Luo Jianfan said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from the China Economic Net on June 5: “I would like to express our company's attitude in two sentences: First, for the past 18 years. Always using quality as the lifeline, the unqualified product that was exposed by the media was a product that passed the inspection of the national authoritative department, and secondly, since it caused anxiety to consumers, I sincerely said sorry. An article: “Pak Landi mistakenly kidnaps children's clothing door.” We would like to inform the public that this is a lesson and a spur. Since we are the leader in the Chinese children's wear industry, we must have a responsibility to do better.

Luo Jianfan answered the reporter's question on how to treat the objectiveness and fairness of different testing organizations: “We have done a good job of communicating with the testing agencies for the testing organizations for the first time. I can only say whether the testing results caused by different testing environments are not the same. Isn’t that the same? Now, it doesn’t make any sense to say anything, but I’d also like to say that for quality, we have consistently attached importance to it for 18 years. Every year companies conduct large and small self-checks nearly a hundred times, quality inspections of different agencies, etc. The accumulated cost of quality monitoring is up to seven digits, and there has never been a situation of unqualified inspections. This is a spur to us. We must work harder, spend more effort, and do a good job of quality. We are responsible for China. Children provide healthy clothing.It is undeniable that there are still problems in the children's clothing industry in China, but we are convinced that Chinese companies have entered the stage of intensive cultivation, and that in the future we must stand out from the impetuous and truly responsible enterprises.

Unqualified sampling, suspected "lying shot"

In fact, this time the Beijing Consumers Association issued a quality inspection report showing that Parkland children's clothing failed, pushing the brand to the cusp of the storm. Xu Sufeng, who was in charge of quality supervision at Parklane for several years, said in an interview with the media: “In the garment industry for so many years of quality inspection work, Parkland's quality inspection procedures and standards have been the most tedious and strict I have ever seen. , we can't believe when we know the unqualified news."

According to her introduction, Parker’s entire quality control system was launched at the initial stage of product ordering. After the customer confirmed a good model of apparel design, Parkland's quality inspectors began to use demanding requirements, involving many fabrics. Among the suppliers, fabrics with the best yarn density, fabric composition, and durability were selected to make prototypes of the original version and test the performance of the fabrics.

After meeting the most basic requirements, the quality inspector will supervise the fabric supplier to send the fabric to a designated testing institution for repeated testing to ensure that each fabric meets the national testing standards. This includes the 9 items of formaldehyde content, color fastness to water, color fastness to perspiration (acid, alkali), color fastness to dry rubbing, color fastness to saliva, odor, and decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes. . Only when all were up to standard, Parkland's quality inspectors allowed their mass production.

After the Beijing Association for Consumers announced the quality issue, it caused Parkerland’s leaders to attach great importance to it. The first time they contacted the testing department to understand the problem. “There was a problem in terms of color fastness, and we were surprised that our fabrics were allowed to be made into ready-made garments after repeated washing tests. Twisting, shrinkage, and mutual dyeing of the fabric after washing (wet grinding Color fastness), latitude and longitude inclination (deformation) are safety values ​​that have been repeatedly tested and meet national standards. We say that our products are not qualified and people have a sense of aversion to lying and shooting. A person in charge told the reporter.

The manager of the Parkland brand told the China Economic Network reporter that in the color fastness testing project, Parker Landi’s products were tested to be qualified products that met the national standards. “The color fastness of our fabrics is in full compliance with national standards. As long as we wash according to the requirements of the clothing wash water standard, this product will not fade and will not affect the health of children.” The person in charge stressed.

The quality measurement report draws attention but who monitors the objective and fairness

In the face of endless children's wear quality problems, many experts also believe that such a chaotic market is caused by many factors, such as the late start of the market, lack of standards or imperfections, poor brand awareness, and more responsible corporate conscious Introspective strict quality control drives the healthy development of the industry. Parkland's "children's clothing door" miscarriage of the incident, more reflects the industry's development of immature, but also to remind the whole society on children's products safety testing standards strictly controlled.

In fact, in the recent past, after the quality of products including well-known children's products brands such as Parkland and good children have been unqualified, due to product quality and safety issues and social responsibilities, many quality reports issued by many social organizations have been published. Caused widespread concern of the whole society, but also caused a lot of doubt.

Approvers believe that the publication of these quality reports is a manifestation of quality supervision by social organizations; doubters have questions about the fairness of quality reports, the scientific fairness of social organizations, and disputes between parties. Industry insiders appealed to national authorities for further discussion.

Industry sources pointed out that the current situation of China's consumer product safety emerges in an endless stream. Chinese consumers are increasingly attaching greater importance to quality and safety. Social organizations are increasingly entering the public's field of vision and they play a supervisory role in public security incidents. However, there is still some way to go to ensure that the “referees” themselves are impartial and independent, and how the quality of social organizations can catch up with the pace of development as soon as possible.

At the same time, as the first responsible person for product quality, companies must also assume their due responsibilities, be responsible to consumers, fulfill their social responsibilities, and earn more respect for Chinese manufacturing.
