SHEIN recalls more than 2,000 products, this time it's a disaster

Complying with flammability standards is a very important audit condition in the clothing industry, and it is common for clothes to be recalled due to non-compliance with this standard. Recently, two children's pajama sets exclusively sold by SHEIN were also recalled for this reason.

Both pajamas are made of 97% polyester and 3% spandex. They come in five sizes: 120, 130, 140, 150, and 160, and are also available with matching eye masks.

The first pajama set is a children's two-piece short-sleeved top and pants set with an all-over multi-color plaid print.

These two pajamas have been sold exclusively at SHEIN since August 2019, priced at $8. More than 2,000 pieces are being recalled this time. The reason for the recall is that they do not meet the flammability standards for children's pajamas and there is a risk of burns to children.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said that it recommends consumers stop using it immediately. SHEIN will also contact consumers for a full refund. In addition, SHEIN will also give consumers a $10 gift card as an apology.

SHEIN, known as the "Chinese version of Zara" in the United States, has become the most popular shopping website for American teenagers after Amazon. It firmly holds the leading position at the top of the global mobile fast fashion list, and many "copiers" have appeared on the market.

Although the product can be recalled, this will definitely have a certain negative impact on SHEIN's brand image. In addition, SHEIN is facing infringement disputes recently, and everyone is keeping a wait-and-see attitude towards SHEIN's future development.

Children's health and safety has always been a topic of great concern, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has also attached great importance to it. And these two children's pajamas are not isolated cases. Chinese children's clothing sold exclusively on Amazon has been recalled four times this summer , and the reason for the recall is also that they do not meet the flammability standards.

Therefore, Chinese sellers must pay attention to this standard when dealing with clothing categories. If their products are recalled due to this, it will have a huge impact on small sellers, both in terms of the various costs incurred and the brand reputation.
