山姆又被罚了。 10月17日，上海青浦区市场监督管理局，针对山姆（上海）超市有限责任公司销售不合格FILA牌滑板 车、兰精天丝儿童被三件套的行为作出了处罚动作。 这次处罚涉及的金额并不大，但结合此前的其他相关事件，可以说这次行政处罚属于"金额不大、但警 示性不小"—— 因为它，相当于给近几个月以来逐级酝酿发酵的、来自民众消费者对山姆质疑，来了一次"官方盖章"： 7月中，社媒上开始掀起对于山姆上架好丽友等偏大众品牌零食的负面舆情； 相隔没多久，又有网友指出山姆销售的有机大豆被悄悄降级； 进入10月后，又有网友宣称在山姆超市购买的核桃蛋糕中吃到牙齿，等等。 以上事件，在舆论场里激起不同程度的涟漪，山姆超市分别以下架调整、出面承认和快速应对等方式作 出了回应，但说到底，这些事件都只是消费者个别或群体所发出的投诉和批评之声。 但这一次，可能又不太一样了 一纸罚单，动摇核心用户群的信任感 作为山姆会员店的用户，二姐认为，这次官方处罚，有可能会从以下三个层面影响山姆超市用户群的信 任感，甚至更严重的，会动摇到支撑这家企业在华业务的用户心智。 首先是涉及处罚的商品的品类特殊性，直击了山姆会员主力人群的一个核心诉求。 这次被 ...

周末的上海，山姆会员店外一如既往地排着长队。 敲响了警钟 推着硕大购物车的中产父母们，熟练地将印着"会员优选"的FILA儿童滑板车放进车里——这个再平常不 过的场景，如今却蒙上了一层讽刺的意味。 谁也没想到，山姆的"塌房"来得比双十一的快递还快，且每一波都精准踩中了中产家庭最敏感的神经。 两张罚单 近日，上海市市场监管局的两则行政处罚决定书，让家长们彻底不淡定了。 据文书显示，一款FILA儿童滑板车在常规抽检中，其"用于包装或玩具中的塑料袋或塑料薄膜"不符合国 家安全标准。 图源：上海市市场监督管理局网站 专业术语的背后，是所有家长心惊胆战的事实：这些塑料薄膜可能覆盖儿童口鼻，导致窒息事故发生。 更令人不安的是披露的数据。这批问题滑板车共进货64件，截至案发已售出61件。 也就是说，仅2件报损和1件抽检备样未被售出，超过95%的问题商品早已流入市场，进入一个个信任山 姆的家庭。 与此同时，另一款兰精天丝儿童三件套也在抽检中"中招"。 该产品的"耐摩擦色牢度"不符合国家标准，意味着使用过程中容易掉色。 品控滑坡 图源：上海市市场监督管理局网站 耐摩擦色牢度不达标看似只是颜色问题，实则潜藏更多隐患。婴幼儿皮肤娇嫩 ...
