    “German Brand” Fake Foreign Goods Promotion Penalized Twice; Consumers Complain Coating Peels Off

    Kangbach is actually an enterprise in Wuyi, Zhejiang, and long promoted itself as a “German brand” and “from Germany.” In 2017 it was fined by the Wuyi County Market Supervision Administration and ordered to eliminate the impact; in 2019 it was penalized again because it could not prove the authenticity of its promotion, becoming embroiled in a “fake foreign goods” controversy. In 2022 consumers complained that its cookware’s coating peeled off after half a month of use and that it stuck severely, questioning the livestream claim of “coating-free” as suspected false advertising. Administrative penalty; brand reputation damaged.
