The survey covered 30 pet products sold on AliExpress, Temu and Shein, China's leading online marketplaces, and harmful substances or microorganisms were detected in 20 of them — more than half. In particular, formaldehyde was found in pet wet wipes at up to 28 times the permitted level, and benzoic acid and total aerobic bacteria exceeded the limits in pet oral sprays. A substance banned after Korea's humidifier disinfectant disaster was also found in essential oils used in cosmetics and humidifiers.
Summary of the Yonhap News report
Quality problems with Chinese products — and the difference in Allpum cable tie quality
Quality and safety problems with Chinese products have been in the news constantly of late.
Many people will have felt uneasy after hearing that harmful substances were found in pet products.
But these problems are not limited to pet products.
Cable ties, used every day on industrial sites and at home, are no exception.
Why are Chinese cable ties a problem?
Chinese cable ties are gaining market share on the strength of low prices, but quality and safety issues remain.
Problems with Chinese cable ties
Low-grade raw materials
Some Chinese products use recycled plastic or unverified raw materials. This can lead to lower durability, a shorter product life and greater environmental harm.
Mixed raw materials
High-grade and low-cost resins are often blended to make products that only look similar. Such products are weak and can break easily in hot or cold conditions.
Lack of safety verification
Many products have no international certification such as RoHS or CE. They may contain harmful substances and can threaten safety on site.
How are Allpum cable ties different?
Allpum cable ties are made in Korea by Suryong Industrial Co., Ltd. Using top-quality raw materials and strict production standards, we deliver safe, reliable products.

What is RoHS certification?
