(ECNS) -- More than 10 percent of products sold via China's largest e-commerce sites have problems ranging from counterfeiting to failing quality standards, involving many brand products, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of China (SAIC) announced on Thursday.


The SAIC sampled products offered at discount for the "November 11 Festival." These covered six categories including shoes, bags and suitcases, accessories as well as cosmetics, and were sold via online retailers Tmall, JD.com, Yhd.com, Amazon.com, Suning.com, Jumei.com, Vip.com and Lefeng.com.


Well-known brand names such as New Balance, Adidas, Burberry, Zippo, Estee Lauder, Elizabeth Arden, Coach and Montblanc were found to be involved.


Established in 2009 by Alibaba Group, Tmall's parent company, the "November 11 Festival" has become the biggest online shopping spree in China. With big discounts on a vast number of goods, shopping websites attract huge interest every year.


In quality control tests, 10.6 percent of samples were found to have problems. Fifteen batches proved suspect, while seven were declared substandard or did not match contents declared on the label.


Eight out of the 15 suspect batches (36.4 percent) have been verified as counterfeit. Three of these came from Tmall, two from Yhd.com and one from Lefeng.com, one from Suning.com and one from Amazon. The remaining seven batches need to be further evaluated.
