A latex gloves factory in Dinghu District, Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province reported to the Director of the Bureau of Quality Supervision of Hunan Province that 5 fake fake “black dens” in Shaodong County, Shaoyang City, Hunan Province, produced a large number of fake latex gloves. The product quality was low and the price was low. , impact on its normal business order. After the preliminary inspection of the quality inspection department and mastering the specific location and operation of the fake “black dens”, the inspection team of the Hunan Provincial Bureau of Quality Supervision came to Shaodong County to enforce the law today.

The main person in charge of the "black dens" seized 1275 low-grade latex gloves, totaling 255,000 pairs worth RMB 610,000.

Upon on-site inspection, the production of fake “black dens” plants was awkward and the production workshop was messy and the sanitary conditions were not up to standard. These counterfeiting workshops can produce 3-4 million pairs of inferior latex gloves a day. The products not only counterfeit the formal corporate brands, but also counterfeit the name of the factory of the regular company, mainly sold to Hubei, Guizhou and other places.

According to data from a latex gloves factory, since 2010, the company’s glove sales have plummeted, with a decline of more than 40%, which has caused huge losses for the company.

The law enforcement personnel of the Hunan Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau told the reporter that the production process of regular latex gloves is the use of rubber, sulfur powder, calcium carbonate, talcum powder, antioxidants and other raw materials through the rubber, vulcanization, production, rinsing, drying, packaging several procedures Processing, and these "black dens" to take more calcium carbonate, talcum powder, without anti-aging agents cut corners, reduce production costs, to achieve the purpose of obtaining profits.

The qualified rubber gloves produced by regular manufacturers are made of natural rubber and have a smooth feel. After burning, the smoke is very light and the material is gray and sticky. The inferior rubber gloves are made of low-cost synthetic rubber, and even recycled old tires and pharmaceutical waste rubber are synthesized.

Field experiments have found that these poor quality latex gloves are severely deficient in toughness, broken by a water-based pen, and are black smoke-like after combustion, producing black particles and unpleasant smells.

Luo Na, the chief of the inspection team of the Hunan Provincial Bureau of Quality Supervision, explained that these counterfeiting actions have seriously disrupted the laws of the market and violated the legitimate rights and interests of regular enterprises.

They easily enter the body through volatilization, cause liver and blood diseases, and even cause cancer. It is hoped that the public would choose the gloves with smooth surfaces and components marked with natural rubber or silicone rubber when choosing gloves.

The companies shall be punished in accordance with the “Product Quality Law of the People's Republic of China” and alleged criminal offences will be transferred to the public security department. deal with.
