Improper labelling? Would like to know what exactly it said on the label.

They present them as substandard, but I bet they didn't like the dry cleaning codes on the label or something completely inocuous...

Maybe they just wanted to keep what they "confiscate"!

LOL, I wondered about that!

Hmmmm... why does this seem a little hypocritical?

 

[birkel]

talk about standards, ill give them a few products that lack not only quality but sense!. no offense but this sounds like someone wants to make our hermes shell out some cash with un fair laws !

ITA w/ all of the above.

Oy moment here, maybe, they want to stir up something w/ all the phoney baloney fakes that are 'Made in China'

I think the part that said "MADE IN FRANCE" on the label is what got them excited.


This is the best example of reverse psychology that I have seen in a long time. China has been razed for all the unsafe chemicals used in foods and products and this is a little PR trick to turn tables on the West.

Pretty juvenile, but some people will believe it all.

Jealousy is truly a green eyed monster.

Downright Orwellian, coming from the nation with the worst record on environmental, labor, and quality control abuses.

At least Garlic made outside of China doesn't turn BLUE when put in WATER!

^ Oh.. my goodness. That's heinous! Yes, I found this downright hypocritical given all the quality issues, human rights issues, labor and environmental issues from this country. This is just a little kid throwing a temper tantrum.
