State inspectors in Zhejiang, China claimed to have found widespread health risks and fraud from brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Trussardi, Hugo Boss, Paul & Shark alongside Hermes and Versace. In a test where they took a random sample of 85 batches of clothing,60% of them failed Chinese quality standards. Inspectors found poorcolor fastness, high levels of acid, high levels of formaldehyde.Chinese health reports saythat these can cause skin rashes, eye irritations, allergies,respiratory problems and even cancer. The clothes were manufacturedfrom countries ranging from Italy, France, Morocco, Turkey, Vietnam andIndia.

What Fame Appeal found shocking was that the none of the Fashion Houses would be held liable because none of them are registered in China. Instead, the Chinese government will issue fines to the clothing stores as a penalty for violating Product Quality Law.
