From:Shanghai Daily  |  2020-02-11 08:29

Amid its continued efforts to protect consumers of facial masks, Shanghai’s market watchdog revealed the details of 10 typical cases involving the much sought-after protective product.

A Quik convenience store outlet on Fengzhuang Road N. in Jiading District was found selling a box of 50 facial masks at 150 yuan (US$21.46), while its procurement price was only 50 yuan per box, the Shanghai Administration for Market Regulation said.

A total of 14 boxes had been sold when the case was uncovered, it said.

In another case, Shanghai Minglian Co in Jinshan District is being investigated for selling 3M masks on Taobao at 398 yuan per box, compared with a normal price of 99 yuan, to cash in on the outbreak.

Shanghai Ziying Co in the Pudong New Area is being investigated for selling Honeywell masks that had expired more than two years ago.

The Shanghai Liqian Food Store in Putuo District was selling masks without factory addresses and production dates on Ele.me, according to the administration.

The source of the masks is being traced by authorities.

The watchdog is investigating 140 cases related to the new coronavirus outbreak and 18 have been handed to police.
