March is just around the corner, and rumors about March 15th have started to spread again. Various media outlets and enterprises are speculating on what will be exposed this year and who will be unlucky. Consumers are looking forward to the unveiling and cracking down on numerous persistent problems in the market that infringe upon consumer rights on March 15th. An invisible battlefield is forming.
In early 2012, an article titled "Unveiling the Unspoken Rules of the Red Wood Industry" detailed 12 shocking unspoken rules of the red wood furniture industry that are not widely known to the public. These include mixing in white wood, applying lacquer, glue grinding, falsifying internal structures, and deceiving with claims of pure handcraftsmanship. The unspoken rules of the red wood industry are filled with counterfeiting and deception, each of which can cause significant harm to consumer rights. In fact, these unspoken rules in the red wood industry have existed for many years, and countless consumers have fallen victim to scams.
In April 2011, a consumer named Ms. Liu purchased a set of bedroom series red wood furniture for over 20,000 yuan at a red wood furniture store in Harbin. When Ms. Liu brought the furniture home, she noticed that it emitted a strong odor. She had no choice but to keep her windows open for several hours every day to maintain good indoor air circulation. However, after a month, Ms. Liu found that the smell from the furniture had not improved. On the contrary, she began to experience physical discomfort, with severe coughing every day. After a hospital examination, it was determined that due to pollution from formaldehyde and other harmful substances, Ms. Liu's asthma had recurred. Realizing the truth, Ms. Liu immediately invited a professional inspection agency to conduct tests, and the problem was indeed with the red wood furniture she had purchased. It turned out that Ms. Liu had bought "glue-grinded" furniture, a method used by unscrupulous merchants to cover up inadequacies such as insufficient drying of red wood furniture and white edges. This method involves coating the entire surface of the wood with glue, grinding it off, and repeating the process until all the pores of the wood are completely blocked. Furniture that has been "glue-grinded" looks particularly good, with a great appearance and appears very attractive, making it impossible for the average person to discern with the naked eye. The key issue is that the glue used in "glue-grinding" contains chemical raw materials with large amounts of formaldehyde and benzene. These harmful substances penetrate deep into the pores of the wood and cannot dissipate for several years, seriously affecting health and posing great hazards to the elderly, pregnant women, and children's brain development! Ms. Liu fell victim to the salesperson's promises and lacked understanding of the "unspoken rules" of the red wood industry, ultimately becoming a victim of "glue-grinded" red wood furniture.
There are many similar cases like this one, and the harm caused by the unspoken rules of the red wood industry has become quite serious. The lack of widespread attention in the past is largely related to the secrecy of these unspoken rules. Without knowledge of these insider details, consumers are easily deceived and may face difficulties when seeking legal redress. By fully exposing these unspoken rules, Liantianhong provides consumers with a clear understanding of the insider secrets of the red wood industry, offering them important evidence for future rights protection. As a result, this year's March 15th may see a peak in consumer rights protection within the red wood industry!
