On November 1, the Nandu New Medical Beauty Observation Research Group successively issued articles exposing a number of cosmetics that were advertised in the name of fake universities, such as "Southern Medical University Hair Liquid", "Jinan University Stem Cell Factor", "Guangzhou University Freckle Cream" and so on. Cosmetics manufacturers do not authorize the university to carry out joint names, and the patent numbers shown in the outer packaging of the products are mostly plagiarism or "raw and rigid sleeves".
Previously reported:
Some merchants sell stem cell factors online under the guise of Jinan University, and the chest and private parts can be filled
Many people complained that the "Southern Medical University Hair Liquid" was suspected of being fake, and the foundry owner revealed that it had been fined nearly 100,000 yuan
A number of well-known universities have encountered false joint names of cosmetics, and the three major counterfeiting methods have been dismantled one by one
Among the cosmetics investigated, one of the Sun Yat-sen University eye creams did not receive a positive response from Sun Yat-sen University, and it is not possible to fully determine whether it is counterfeit. However, the research group recently learned that recently, a company in Guangzhou was fined 100,000 yuan by the Guangzhou Municipal Market Supervision Department for illegally endorsing "Technical Support of the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology of Sun Yat-sen University" on the outer packaging of the cosmetics sold. In the context of the recent frequent exposure of fake college cosmetics, this Sun Yat-sen University body lotion was "punished first".
The company Guangzhou was fined 100,000 yuan for illegally commenting on the illegal packaging of body milk
According to nanfang daily, on September 27, law enforcement officers from the Guangzhou Baiyun District Market Supervision Bureau came to the business premises of Guangzhou Jiukoushan Technology Co., Ltd. for on-site inspection and found that the packaging box of the "Beifu Whitening Nourishing Body Lotion" cosmetics sold by the company was marked with the words "Technical Support of the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology of Sun Yat-sen University". Because the company's personnel were unable to provide relevant support materials for Sun Yat-sen University, their behavior was suspected of violating the relevant provisions of the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics. Law enforcement officers seized 466 bottles of "Beifu Whitening Nourishing Body Lotion" cosmetics suspected of not complying with the regulations on the spot, and conducted an in-depth investigation.
Law enforcement officials said that during the production process of the product, there was no direct relationship with the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology of Sun Yat-sen University as described in its label. Because this company can not provide proof that Sun Yat-sen University agrees to promote the product in its name. The product packaging is completely designed by the company itself, and the words "Technical Support of the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology of Sun Yat-sen University" on its label are false or misleading content. Although this company provided a certificate, this only shows that the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology of Sun Yat-sen University has a technical cooperation relationship with a company called Yuanhan (Guangzhou) Cosmetics Research and Development Co., Ltd., which is not directly related to the "Beifu Whitening Nourishing Body Lotion" product operated and sold by Guangzhou Jiukoushan Technology Co., Ltd., nor does it prove that Sun Yat-sen University agrees to Guangzhou Jiukoushan Technology Co., Ltd. to promote its products in its name.
The law enforcement personnel believe that the behavior of Guangzhou Jiukoushan Technology Co., Ltd. violates the provisions of the first paragraph of Article 37 of the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics, constituting an illegal act of item (5) of the first paragraph of Article 61 of the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics, and the production and operation of cosmetics whose labels do not conform to the regulations. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics, law enforcement officials punished them.
On November 8, the Baiyun District Market Supervision Bureau issued an Administrative Penalty Notice to Guangzhou Jiukoushan Technology Co., Ltd., confiscating 2,100 yuan of illegal gains, as well as 466 bottles of "Beifu Whitening Nourishing Body Lotion", and imposing an administrative fine of 104,160 yuan.
A number of fake co-branded college cosmetics have been exposed to Guangdong universities as "fake" high-frequency words
And Sun Yat-sen University does not have any cooperative relationship but the sale of cosmetics packaging marked "Sun Yat-sen University School of Chemical Engineering and Technology Technical Support", so that consumers mistakenly think that this is sun Yat-sen University development, such counterfeit university research and development of cosmetics is actually not the first case, Guangdong many well-known universities into the "counterfeited" high-frequency words.
Not long ago, the Nandu New Medical Beauty Observation Research Group had exposed a number of fake cosmetics from colleges and universities, such as "Southern Medical University Hair Liquid", "Jinan University Stem Cell Factor", "Guangzhou University Freckle Cream", etc. Cosmetics manufacturers did not authorize the university to carry out joint names, and the patent numbers shown in the outer packaging of the products were mostly plagiarism or "raw and hard sets". 1. "Southern Medical University Hair Growth Liquid"
Not long ago, a "He Shou Wu Fa Gen Essence Set" that claimed to be "technically supported by the School of Pharmacy of Southern Medical University" was complained about by many consumers. Some consumers have been refused refunds after use without effect, and some consumers have also had bad conditions such as itchy scalps and red acne. The hair growth liquid was suspected to be a counterfeit and shoddy product, and the so-called "southern medical university development" was false propaganda.
The Nandu Research Group tried to contact Southern Medical University, but was unable to get in touch. However, the research group inquired about the patent number on the outer packaging box of the product on the national patent website, showing that the patent was owned by Huazhong University of Science and Technology and had no relationship with Southern Medical University.
Coincidentally, a "South China University of Technology hair liquid" and this "South China University of Medicine Hair Liquid" collision, the product appearance and outer packaging is close, the product composition is close, the price is close, and the outer packaging of the two products is printed with the patent number of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and the manufacturer displayed is also the same - Guangzhou Yuxiao Biological Products Co., Ltd.
The research group then consulted Guangzhou Yuxiao Biological Products Co., Ltd. on the demand of "whether it can oem produce skin care products from the joint Southern Medical University", and the relevant personnel of the company said that if they could not provide proof of cooperation with the university, the outer packaging could not be added. For this "Southern Medical University hair liquid", the person in charge said that he had been fined nearly 100,000 yuan for false joint names. 2. "Stem Cell Factor of Jinan University"
A store named "Zixiu Medical Beauty" in a certain treasure is selling "Jida Xiaolin Stem Cell Factor", the store customer service said that this product is developed by the School of Medicine of Jinan University, and also displays a product testing qualification report certified in the name of "Jida Stem Cells Biotechnology Research Center", and the testing center is the Guangzhou Institute of Microbiology.
However, the Nandu New Medical Aesthetic Observation Research Group learned from the testing center that the name, brand, entrusting unit, sample status, sample packaging and sample photos of the report had been tampered with. At the same time, the relevant person in charge of Jinan University also said that it has not developed this product, and it does not have this biotechnology research center. 3. "Guangzhou University Freckle Cream"
In a treasure, the "lionreine flagship store" claims that a parting freckle cream is a patented technology jointly developed by Guangzhou University and the Nobel Prize team, and the lyophilized powder with the main bright white repair effect is directly developed by the Institute of Biological Engineering of Guangzhou University.
In this regard, the relevant person in charge of Guangzhou University replied: "In general, at present, the school has not developed its own functional cosmetics and has entered the market. The person in charge also said that the "Institute of Biological Engineering of Guangzhou University" did not participate in the accreditation of scientific research institutions on campus, so the institute was not listed among the scientific research institutions on campus. However, one teacher in the school participated in the horizontal industry-university-research cooperation of the lyophilized powder product, but the publicity effect in the screenshot was wrong, not the company that the teacher cooperated with; and the other product, whitening and freckle cream, had nothing to do with the teacher and the school.
The three major counterfeiting methods dismantle and block the source of cosmetics counterfeiting one by one, which requires social cooperation
Fake co-branded college cosmetics are flying all over the place, but there are actually traces behind them, mainly including three kinds of counterfeiting methods. The first method is to directly copy the name of the university in the name of the store, such as "exclusively developed by Sun Yat-sen University" and "Eye Care Patent Store of Southern Medical University". The second method is to directly "jointly name" a university on the outer packaging of the product, mark the research and development of a well-known university, or provide technical support from a certain university, or a university and a brand jointly develop. The third method is the fraudulent use of patent numbers in the packaging and marketing of cosmetics.
Behind the phenomenon of such counterfeiting, what is glimpsed is the change of public demand and consumption concepts, as well as the power of the rise of domestic brands that cannot be ignored, and the problem of industry supervision is also exposed. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's cosmetics industry, new requirements have been continuously made for the improvement of relevant laws and regulations, and the growth of the industry has gradually bid farewell to the crude and barbaric growth model, protected product research and development technology, and protected the personal rights and interests of consumers, which has become an urgent issue at present.
In addition to the relevant government regulatory departments to continue to explore long-term supervision mechanisms and adhere to the high-pressure anti-counterfeiting posture, individual consumers also need to closely link their sense of responsibility with their own interests. As a consumer, buying a regular product with a quasi-brand name or a national CFDA certificate is the first step to saying "no" to a fake. At the same time, consumers should promptly report to the relevant departments when they encounter counterfeit and shoddy products.
Mao Peng, a lawyer at Guangdong Shengdian Law Firm, pointed out: "If consumers encounter counterfeiting, they can report to the market supervision department. If in the course of the investigation, the functional department discovers that the scope of the other party's fraud is relatively extensive, or the profits are more, and it is suspected of constituting a criminal offense, it may be transferred to the public security organ for criminal investigation and punishment. ”
