A post made by a user of Xianyu
It is reported that on December 21, Canada Goose and Shanghai Charity Foundation donated more than 2,000 pieces of down jackets and cold-proof materials to help the earthquake area in Gansu. Canada Goose is a Canadian apparel brand founded in 1957 and officially entered the Chinese market in 2018, and is most famous for its warm and practical down jacket products.
Responses from all parties –
On the 26th, the parties responded to the matter.
A customer service of the Xianyu platform replied that there is no relevant post at present, and the platform will crack down on it once it is found.
A staff member of the office of the Shanghai Charity Foundation said that this was a rumor, and the materials were supervised from receipt to transportation, and they were delivered to the earthquake area intact on the evening of the 25th. It said that the local authorities are discussing how to properly distribute it, and will make an explanation on this matter in the future, and if someone maliciously spreads rumors, they will also call the police.
According to the person in charge of the material center of the Shanghai Charity Foundation, "all 2001 down jackets have been sent to Gansu, and there is no problem in counting the quantity." It is reported that on the morning of December 24, the third batch of disaster relief materials from the Shanghai Charity Foundation was shipped to the earthquake-stricken area of Jishishan, Gansu. The total value of the relief materials amounted to more than 15 million yuan, including 1,000 thermal jackets, 500 sleeping bags, 2,001 Canada Goose down jackets, 74 pairs of gloves, 3,000 packs of warm stickers and 3,000 thermos water bottles.
In response to the incident, Xianyu's official response said that the platform's customer service had conducted an investigation as soon as possible, and the actual situation was that the user fabricated information on disaster relief materials in order to sell down jackets in order to attract traffic to hot spots, which is a malicious marketing behavior. At present, the platform has removed the products from the shelves as soon as possible and permanently banned the account.
