Znaczek „Amazon’s Choice” usypia czujność. Wadliwy czujnik czadu posłał ludzi do szpitala

Kupując sprzęt mający chronić nasze życie, często ufamy rekomendacjom wielkich platform e-commerce. Przypadek niezwykle popularnego czujnika tlenku węgla z Amazona udowadnia, że to ryzykowne podejście.

Urządzenie, które dumnie nosiło odznaczenie „Amazon’s Choice”, okazało się potencjalnie śmiertelnym zagrożeniem, prowadząc do hospitalizacji kilku osób.

Bestseller, który ignoruje tlenek węgla

Sprawa dotyczy popularnego (głównie za oceanem) czujnika marki Hembisen (model KH-158). Urządzenie było reklamowane jako sprzęt typu „4 w 1”, monitorujący m.in. temperaturę i stężenie gazów. Jak ustaliła amerykańska organizacja Consumer Reports, w kluczowych momentach sprzęt całkowicie ignorował obecność czadu, nie uruchamiając żadnego alarmu.

Skutki tej usterki okazały się dramatyczne. Tylko w lutym i marcu tego roku wady modelu doprowadziły do co najmniej czterech hospitalizacji. W jednym ze zbadanych przypadków dwójka nastolatków trafiła do szpitala z objawami ostrego zatrucia, podczas gdy podłączony do gniazdka czujnik nie wykazał absolutnie żadnych podwyższonych wartości gazu w pomieszczeniu. Po tych incydentach w sekcji opinii na Amazonie szybko zaczęły pojawiać się kolejne skargi na fałszywe alarmy i dolegliwości zdrowotne użytkowników.

Problem leży głębiej niż w jednym wadliwym produkcie

Zanim na jaw wyszły wady urządzenia, zdążyło się ono rozejść w potężnych ilościach. Co więcej, algorytmy sprzedażowe nagrodziły ten produkt oficjalnym znaczkiem „Amazon’s Choice”, co dla wielu klientów stanowiło ostateczny dowód na jego niezawodność. Po interwencji badaczy platforma usunęła feralny model oraz jego bliźniacze klony sprzedawane pod innymi nazwami (m.in. KH Alert, Koaabit czy Yojock).

Eksperci zwracają jednak uwagę, że problem w USA ma charakter systemowy. W Stanach Zjednoczonych nie istnieją obowiązkowe, federalne normy dla tego typu urządzeń, a odpowiedzialność za weryfikację spada na sprzedawców i samych klientów. Organizacje konsumenckie apelują, by wybierając sprzęt ratujący życie, unikać niezweryfikowanych producentów z platform marketplace. Zamiast tego należy szukać urządzeń posiadających dobrowolne, ale rygorystyczne certyfikaty bezpieczeństwa, takie jak normy UL (Underwriters Laboratories).

Kupując tanią elektronikę na globalnych platformach, Polacy powinni zachować szczególną ostrożność. Warto regularnie śledzić komunikaty polskiego UOKiK-u, który na bieżąco aktualizuje rejestr produktów niebezpiecznych, oraz bezwzględnie sprawdzać, czy sprowadzany sprzęt posiada prawdziwy, europejski certyfikat bezpieczeństwa CE, a nie tylko łudząco podobny znaczek China Export.

Koniec z patologią w polskim e-commerce? UOKiK zyska uprawnienia niczym służby specjalne

"Surveillance Pricing" & "Smart Rounding" INCREASES grocery prices on Instacart & others, by experimenting on shoppers.

I’ve suspected Wirecutter is, charitably, weak in their testing. Cordless stick vacs, their top rated is 22nd on #ConsumerReports list.

That seems like a enough delta to be significant.

Sure, inflation is great for raising prices, but have you heard about corporate greed? Turns out retailers are partnering with big tech helping to enable profit maximization through algorithmic pricing. It's a real thing, and you should be LIVID about it.

"Well I don't do Instacart or online grocery shopping." Well too bad, because they use the findings from experiments run on folks who do, to jack up the prices in-store, too.

Some great reporting from #ConsumerReports and #MorePerfectUnion here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osxr7xSxsGo

#MorePerfectUnion and #ConsumerReports has put out a video on their investigation into algorithm-driven prices or otherwise known as surveillance pricing.

A Consumer Reports investigation found that Instacart — which promotes itself as the nation’s largest third-party grocery delivery service, and delivers from retailers like Costco, Kroger, Sprouts Farmers Market, Safeway, and Target charges some people significantly more for the exact same grocery item because ... they can.

CR volunteers who repeatedly shopped the same products at the exact same time online saw prices on some products differ by as much as 23 percent. Based on the average variations they saw, for a household of four that could translate into a difference of about $1,200 a year.

Some products were offered at as many as five different prices, with variations ranging from as little as 7 cents to as much as $2.56 per item.

Call on the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general to investigate Instacart’s pricing tactics, and hold them accountable for any unfair practices.
