Be careful of cheap slippers!!!

[precious2509]

Recieved an email from my college today. Apparently this email was sent to her by her best friend.

Please be aware of china product.. (now it has includes clothings other then the news reported about food)

Now Is China Slippers ..........


Chinese Thongs sandals sold at Walmart!!!.DO NOT BUY !!

REMEMBER THE PAINT ON KIDS TOYS ?

Hi,
This is very true as I heard it in news from one of our local radios here that our govt has to be extra careful on these cheap imports from china. These includes clothes, food, toys, slippers and even glasses because they are using some strong but cheap chemical in their manufactures. Cheap is becoming expensive and at the same time fatal. I nearly bought one pair of the slippers below for myself last week at the Japanese $2 shop at IMM last week.







Dear all, I'm not sure if DAISO's slipper will cause this problem or not, BUT!! Please do be careful from now on..

Felt pity to this girl. ****.

[shinystar]

i saw it in STOMP last week and weeks back...
i dont really believe..prob the girl has sensitive skin?
but still have to be careful..wear the slipper for a while if feel pain or itchy then dont wear

[swerves018]

woah. this is scary. "cheap is becoming expensive".
i must remind myself not to be so cheapo and jump at cheap stuff anymore! i avoid cheapo looking food but.. slippers!

[dollishchic]

all i can say is OUCH. how the hell wearing slippers resulted in such bruises? thank god i don't buy cheap slippers. still loving my havaianas

[precious2509]

according to the discussion of me and college dicussed, we think she wore it during beach time and for sun-tanning ***.. that's y like that.

But I just post this up to ask all cotters to be EXTRA CAREFUL when you plan to buy anything..

How come Daiso?

The email I got stated that the slippers were bought from Walmart. And I got this email like many many months ago, way before the fisher price toys & milk recall.

Anyway, the thread title makes it sound like these slippers were bought from there. Kinda misleading, eh?

[xiaomantou]

How exactly did they get those blisters? They're really angry and scary looking ...

[summerain]

thats really scarey! how did she end up like this?!

anyway, speaking of china products - im ACTUALLY very skeptical of products made in china. But apparently, it is truely impossible to avoid buying stuffs NOT made in china. I just got 2 pairs of flip flops from Old Navy and found out its made in china (from the sticker that sticks on the flip flops & also one of the top i got is also made in China). If im not wrong, Giodano clothings are made from china too (correct me if im wrong). So, practically, to me, its impossible to avoid!

sorry if I've let u think or makes u think it's definately daiso products, But I'm just saying (be careful of slippers sold in daiso.) Of cuz, that's because their slippers are very cheap. And I do not know if anyone has added more "details"into the email, but this is the original mail I recieved stated that someone actually wanna buy it from daiso b4 she saw this email.. So it depends on how u wanna believe it. But of course also, doesn't mean other area that sells cheap slippers, we don't have to be aware of the causes. *No offense*


--Cheerz!~--

[clairify]

but this is quite absurd.. if your feet started to get itchy, then just stop wearing it l.a...

alama.k!

[precious2509]

And... I did stated that I am not sure if daiso's slipper will cause this problem or not eh? And daiso has been very popular among many people.. so I guess this might catch their attention in reading it. My main purpose is to inform all to be careful whenever u plan to buy anything that's produce by china.. *since china products has been giving the news so much problem...*

the most ultimate one i encountered personally is this auntie (speaks very good english) who asked the sales person of this IT accessories shop...
she holding a mouse (with some colorful prints), and ask, "is this made in china?"
the SA said Yes.
then she ask "does this contain poisonous paint? oh, i better not buy this"

i heard that and my eyes nearly popped out

[precious2509]

I think she didnt realise the itchiness is caused by that ba.. but for some reason how come it turns out like that, guess only the person herself will only know and never stated in her email she sent ba...

[precious2509]

haha that's very funny of that aunty.. she's so precaution wise. haha...
