Because no 6mm rubber layer was added between the tire wire belts to increase the wear resistance of the tires, about 450,000 tires exported by Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co., Ltd. to the United States were recently recalled by the US Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recall involved a huge reimbursement of $64 million.
United States:
Recalling 450,000 Chinese-made tires
The US FTS trading company previously issued a warning that the company imported a batch of light truck tires from Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Company in China in 2002, and one of the tires may have tread detachment. According to the company's information handed over to the Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there are six models of tires that may have problems.
The US Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ordered a total recall of 450,000 tires. But who will bear the $64 million recall fee is the focus of debate. Currently, FTS has filed a lawsuit in the New Jersey District Court.
Zhongce:
FTS is just commercial hype
After the incident, Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co., Ltd. has held an emergency meeting to study the matter. Yesterday, the company sent a statement to the newspaper saying that this was just a commercial speculation by FTS for litigation purposes.
The statement details the incident: FTS is a product purchaser of Zhongce Company in the United States. Due to commercial disputes between the two parties, FTS filed a lawsuit in the US New Jersey court at the end of May 2007. "Therefore, FTS Company reported to the US Highway Traffic Safety Bureau on June 11, 2007 that there may be quality defects in individual products in our semi-steel light truck radial tires (TLR). We think this is just FTS. Commercial speculation for litigation purposes."
It is understood that China Strategic has entrusted Beijing Guanlan Law Firm and American Hawkinghausen Law Firm to handle litigation matters, and has now entered the response stage.
market:
Domestic sales and exports are unaffected
“There are indeed other partners and distributors asking for specific reasons, including other partners in the United States, but only to ask and understand that other exports are not affected,†said Zhongke’s head of marketing.
In the statement issued to the Commercial Daily, the tires exported to the United States have been tested in accordance with US national standards to ensure compliance with relevant requirements. The 6mm rubber layer mentioned by FTS Company, China Policy Company explained that the tires pay attention to the overall rational design. There is no single standard involving the rubber layer. Just as it can't judge the appearance of the T-shirt with or without a pocket or a pocket, it cannot be said that there is no There are safety issues with tires with a 6 mm rubber layer.
When asked about domestic sales, the person in charge said: "At present, the market share of Zhongce Tire is stable at 15%, and sales are stable."
scholar:
Are the faults of the standard
Recently, Chinese toothpaste and children's toys have been recalled in the United States for safety problems. Now the same fate has fallen on Chinese-made tires. In view of this phenomenon, Zhang Handong, deputy director of the Zhejiang Research and Consultation Center of the Zhejiang Provincial Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Office, and Huang Xianhai, a professor at the School of Economics of Zhejiang University, expressed their views.
Zhang Handong believes that these incidents first reflect the existence of Chinese and foreign technical safety standards, and the international requirements for technology are getting higher and higher, while some domestic enterprises have become more passive without raising their own standards in time. Some countries in the United States and Europe have long held the highest international standards, and domestic standards are relatively backward, which has caused problems in export products. Therefore, it is the general trend for enterprises to continuously improve their technical safety standards.
Professor Huang also agreed with the standard disagreement, saying that he also said that there is no possibility of abusing technical standards. If a country is specifically designated for technical standards that it does not meet, it may be suspected of abusing technical standards, the main purpose of which is to limit the country’s exports and protect its domestic producers. This situation does exist as China’s exports increase.
