Suspected problems with Lululemon's clothing ingredients

The newspaper commissioned a laboratory to test one of the garments from the VitaSea yoga suit series produced by Lululemon and concluded that the results were the same as the results of another laboratory, that is, neither of them could find any traces of seaweed.

Market analyst Mark said that the incident was obviously a 'reputation issue' and that since Lululemon's business has developed rapidly in recent years, the incident reflected that the group may have other problems.

He gave Lululemon an investment rating of 'reasonably valued'.

The group advertised that the VitaSea line of clothing is woven from seaweed fiber and claimed that the clothing "comes into contact with moisture, i.e. when wearing the clothing for exercise and sweating, it will release marine amino acids, minerals and vitamins and penetrate into the skin."

Lululemon also claims that this series of clothing has the effects of reducing the wearer's mental stress, preventing inflammation, sterilizing, moisturizing and detoxifying.

However, the New York Times quoted two laboratories as concluding that there was no significant difference in the mineral levels contained in VitaSea clothing fibers and ordinary cotton fibers, and no seaweed components were found.

Chairman: It's different from cotton The New York Times quoted Dennis Wilson, chairman and founder of Lululemon, as saying that he could not challenge the newspaper's test results; but he still said: 'If you put it on, it's different from cotton,' but admitted that 'this is my only test on it.'

The newspaper also quoted Lululemon officials as admitting that the group did not conduct independent testing of fibers from VitaSea clothing, but only trusted its supplier Seacell. (Editor in charge: Tian Tian)
