Amazon is in trouble again! 1,300 products were urgently recalled because they were made in China...

According to foreign media reports, the Canadian Ministry of Health recently discovered a necklace containing too many toxic chemical elements and made an emergency recall decision.

Chinese-made products were caught again, with heavy metals seriously exceeding the standard

It is understood that the necklace is a unicorn children's necklace , shaped like an ice cream, with a unicorn head on the top, and the word "BFF" is hung on the necklace .

This necklace is made in China and distributed by a company in Dongguan City. Its ASIN number is B07D3KD95H .

After investigation, it was found that the product contained excessive "cadmium" , which seriously exceeded the safety standards required by Canadian law. Canadian federal regulations stipulate that the cadmium content of children's jewelry sold through imports, advertising and other channels must be less than 130 mg/kg , otherwise it is illegal.

Although both lead and cadmium are highly toxic, they are often used in costume jewelry because they are soft and very cheap.

Health Canada said that products containing excessive amounts of lead and cadmium are dangerous because their sweet taste is a huge temptation for children. Once children suck, chew or swallow jewelry, it may cause very serious harm to children.

From vomiting and diarrhea to coma, convulsions and severe brain damage, some children may suffer damage to their kidneys, liver, heart or immune system. In severe cases, children may die.

1,300 products are urgently recalled and are available on Amazon Canada

An investigation by the Canadian Ministry of Health found that approximately 1,300 units of this product were sold on Amazon.ca in Canada between July 2018 and March 2021 .

Currently, the Canadian Ministry of Health has issued a statement to Canadian consumers, urgently recalling these more than 1,300 products.

It is reported that this product was previously sold on Amazon Canada. The editor searched the Amazon Canada website and found that it is currently difficult to find sellers selling this product on the platform. It seems that the sellers have all removed the product from the shelves . The sellers are still very quick.

In addition, this case also makes us think, why are Chinese-made products frequently targeted? Are Chinese-made products really not good? How should sellers respond?

Frequently "caught", where should Made in China go?

In recent years, negative news about the recall of Chinese-made products has emerged one after another. Are Chinese-made products really so "weak"?

Last December, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) urgently recalled about 6,375 Homfa cabinets sold on Amazon, which were made in China. Judging from the CPSC's recall list alone, of the 12 products recalled on December 9 and December 10 last year , as many as 10 were made in China !

I want to say that, on the one hand, Made in China is really awesome, and Chinese-made products are almost everywhere in the world. It is reported that China is the largest importer of goods to countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States.

Recently, a number of Chinese-made products have become popular abroad. For example, the search volume for "sunset lights" has soared by 400%; the search volume for Chinese anti-odor socks has soared by 1,300%.

On the other hand, the frequent recall of products made in China due to quality issues has also sounded the alarm for sellers. Foreign countries have very high requirements for product quality. Sellers must control the quality of products when producing or selling products made in China to avoid losses.

Once a product is ordered to be recalled, the seller will face many problems such as banning the sale of the product, recalling the circulating product, taking various remedial measures, etc., which is quite troublesome. Therefore, sellers should pay special attention.
