Remind consumers to pay attention to helmet quality and safety

According to reports from the public and pre-planning, at 10 am on September 17, Guangxi and Nanning market supervision departments jointly enforced the law and conducted a surprise inspection of a number of helmet sellers in the Jiahe Electric Vehicle and Motorcycle Parts Market on Zhonghua Road, Nanning.

In a "Chenggang Motorcycle Supplies Wholesale Store", the female shopkeeper was a little surprised by the presence of law enforcement officers and kept asking "what's going on". The law enforcement officers presented their certificates and explained the situation before conducting inspections.
The reporter saw at the scene that the whole box of helmets was filled inside and outside the store door, and helmets of different styles were also displayed on the counter in the store. The female shopkeeper told reporters that she only does wholesale, "the wholesale price is about 8 yuan, and the retail price is 13 or 4 yuan."

In the shop, law enforcement officers seized several boxes of helmets that had not been opened. The boxes were marked as "luxury sports caps" and stated that "this product is only suitable for use by national standard small electric vehicles, and other motorcycles are strictly prohibited."But open the box ，The shape of the "luxury sports cap" inside  No obvious difference from traditional helmets

Merchants are secretly swapping concepts and scoring the edges. Li Zhenhua, a four-level researcher of the Guangxi Market Supervision Bureau, said that in both national mandatory standards and group standards, there are only references to "sports helmets" and "electric bicycle occupant helmets", and no "sports caps".

Through on-site inspections, law enforcement officers did not find the product certificate, factory name, factory address and contact number, precautions for use and other information on this "sports cap" and packaging box.

This kind of helmet is a typical ‘three no’ product. Lin Zhijian, chief engineer of the Nanning Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, said that this kind of "helmet" does not meet the mandatory standards of the country. If it is circulated in the market, it will inevitably bring hidden dangers to the safety of users. Subsequently, law enforcement officers dealt with these so-called sports caps. "It was temporarily detained according to law and a seal was put on it.

In another company called "Honghui Motorcycle and Electric Vehicle Supplies Wholesale Department", law enforcement officers also found a large number of helmets suspected of "three noes". Judging from the outer packing box, the helmets sold in this shop are exactly the same as the helmet packing boxes of the "Chenggang Motorcycle Supplies Wholesale" shop, and the helmet name is also "luxury sports cap."
As the investigations proceeded, other law enforcement teams also reported that a large number of helmet products suspected of "three noes" were seized in three other helmet sales stores and their warehouses.
