“51億円”かけて生理用ナプキンの工場をオープンさせたTAO(元EXO)、品質への論議に立場明かす…30分で4億円の売上
TAO (former EXO), which opened a sanitary napkin factory at a cost of 5.1 billion yen, takes a stance on quality controversy... 400 million yen in sales in 30 minutes
The group has clarified its position regarding the fact that foreign objects were found in sanitary napkins from a brand launched by TAO, a former member of the group EXO, and questions have been raised about the quality of the product.
Recently, Chinese actor and former member of EXO, Huang Zitao (TAO), reported that a waste recycling company in Zhining City, Shandong Province, China, had found fault with sanitary napkins and diapers that had been labeled as defective.
He was deeply infuriated by the incident that came to light when he found out that the company had not disposed of the waste, but instead had bought and sold it at low prices. He then spent 1.1 billion Taiwanese dollars (approximately 51,062 million won, or approximately 5.1 billion yen) to start a sanitary napkin business.
The factory production process was broadcast live for 24 hours, attracting huge attention. As a result, TAO sold 450,000 boxes of sanitary napkins in 30 minutes during a live broadcast of their sanitary napkin sales on May 18th, and won 41
However, a problem recently arose when a consumer discovered black spots on TAO sanitary napkins and questioned the quality.
In the photo of the sanitary napkin posted by this netizen, two small black dots can be seen. After contacting customer support, the netizen said that there was no problem.
However, they expressed doubts, saying that no additional testing had been carried out. In response, the brand and TAO stated that the most controversial "black spots" were "mainly caused by defects.
"During the weaving process, some of the protruding fibers may have been carbonized by heat, resulting in the black spots and black filaments," the company said. "Tests have not found any substances harmful to the human body."
"The general standard for black spots is about 0.5 mm, but the standard for the brand's naked eye inspection is 0.3 mm.
The tiny black dots are difficult for machines to recognise and remove," he added.
