On the eve of "315", CCTV’s Weekly Quality Report on February 25, 2018 revealed that the qualified rate of 13 FFU air purifiers was 0.
The full English name of FFU is Fan Filter Unit, which is translated from fan filter units, and is widely used in industrial fields such as cleaning production lines.
The "industrial" processing accuracy is very attractive to many ordinary consumers, because in the eyes of most people, the industrial processing accuracy is similar to that of a sterile factory wearing a white coat. If such processing accuracy can be achieved, it should be used to kill chickens and use cannons to kill mosquitoes. Isn’t that easy? However, this time, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Quality Supervision commissioned the Shanghai Environmental Protection Industry Association to conduct a quality and safety risk survey, and the results were surprising: 13 FFU air purifiers with the highest sales volume on the e-commerce platform were randomly selected, and only 4 products nominally implemented the relevant national standards, while the other 9 products were not nominally implemented, which was nonstandard production; In addition, the actual purification capacity of 11 products is less than 60% of the nominal value; For formaldehyde purification capacity, the highest measured value in 13 batches of FFU air purifiers is only 30% of the nominal value, and the measured values of formaldehyde purification capacity of 9 products are even lower than the lower limit of the detection range.
As for the safety performance, the test results show that the safety indicators of 13 FFU air purifiers are all unqualified, and the qualified rate is 0. The lack of interlayer protection makes it easy to touch dangerous parts, and the exposed high-voltage parts are prone to electric shock. In addition, the qualified rate is 0, which brings great hidden dangers to family members.
This news exposed by CCTV’s Weekly Quality Report on February 25, 2018 at least explains the following aspects:
First, some manufacturers are keen on low-price competition and concept sales, which greatly damages and disrupts the air purifier market.
The price of these exposed FFU air purifiers is about 1500-3000 yuan. Air purification is a complicated process, and different treatment processes are needed for different polluted gases, so it is called a fully functional but low-cost air purifier. You can understand what is going on with a little thinking.
However, this kind of behavior does cause great damage to the market: it betrays the trust of consumers, deceives consumers with false propaganda, and even brings harm to consumers.
Second, consumers’ ability to identify air purifiers is weak, emphasizing publicity rather than substance.
As ordinary consumers, they really lack the ability to identify air purifiers. After all, air purification is very professional.
Merchants use the asymmetry of information to expand the publicity effect at will, so that many consumers can’t tell the difference between true and false, so that they are cheated.
But consumers have at least one criterion to master: a penny is worth a penny, and no good goods are cheap!
Third, the e-commerce platform should strengthen its regulatory responsibility and be jointly responsible to consumers.
These exposed FFU air purifiers are among the top sales of major well-known e-commerce. Although the products are not produced by the e-commerce platform itself, the e-commerce platform should also strengthen the quality supervision of online products. After all, consumers are their own gods, and e-commerce platforms should also assume their due responsibilities and obligations.
The 13 FFU air purifiers exposed on the occasion of the arrival of 315 this time are a good thing for the air purifier industry: after the barbaric growth, it is time to calm down and improve the quality and optimize the service.
Formaldehyde is very harmful to human body, but the source of formaldehyde is closely related to our life.
Lansi Cage has always insisted on comprehensive treatment to remove formaldehyde, attracting the love and pursuit of many consumers with high quality and excellent service.
