The Scandal
• Mid-Sept 2006: Guangdong Center for Inspection and Quarantine- chromium and neodymium
• Angry Chinese consumers- refund, returned products- sued celebrity endorsers - Boycotts- Violence
![Page 24: Sk ii presentation](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052122/55925f241a28ab88278b46f0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Inappropriate response
• Stopped selling all products• Was “unavailable” to discuss
product quality• Refused to admit products
were toxic• Poor management of refunds
