BEIJING, August 31 (Xinhuanet)--A national consumers' watchdog
has yet to receive any complaints about a sanitary napkin which
some women believe to be the cause of an infection, according to
today's China Daily.
The China Consumers Association says it has not been contacted
by any of the individuals at the centre of a dispute between the
producer of Whisper feminine napkins and women who used the product
in Dazhou, in Southwest China's Sichuan Province.
In early August, a local newspaper in the province reported
that around 20 women workers of Dazhou Mobile had been infected
by mould after using Whisper napkins, a product of Procter and Gamble
(Guangzhou) Ltd.
The Whisper napkins the workers had used were distributed by
their company, a branch of Sichuan Mobile.
Dazhou Mobile immediately contacted the manufacturer over the
issue.
However, P&G Guangzhou denied the possibility that it was their
products that had led to the mould infection.
The company says their products meet relevant national quality
and hygiene standards. According to the company, Whisper products
are tested over 70 times by authoritative provincial-level and city-level
organs in Guangdong Province and Guangzhou. And the company itself
is also believed to conduct extensive tests on the product.
Meanwhile, according to test results of a local epidemic control
organ in Dazhou, the feminine napkins of P&G Guangzhou meet relevant
standards.
However, the test results were rejected by the female workers,
who said they would ask another more authoritative organ to carry
out fresh tests on the products.
P&G Guangzhou has promised to arrange treatment for the female
workers infected by mould. Enditem
