■ A reporter from the Morning Post, Lee Ching, a correspondent, and Yang Simo, a resident of the city, said: The Duckling Swimming Ring "capsized the boat" and the high-priced imported products are shaking up. It's summer, and every day, Ms. Wang, a resident, takes her 4-year-old child to the swimming pool in the community to learn how to swim. During the summer vacation, many children in the pool, a variety of colorful, different shape of the swimming ring let the children see the eyes. So, Ms. Wang in a well-known shopping site to the children bought a duck-shaped swimming ring. The day before yesterday, Ms. Wang took her children and ducklings swimming circles to swim, did not expect beautiful new circles but scared her out of a cold sweat. "within seconds of putting the ring on, the baby was wobbling, as if it were about to tip over. I thought it was the baby. I didn't know it was the baby. If the parents did not support in the side, the consequences can not be imagined."Ms. Wang mentioned the matter with trepidation.

Several of the shops with high sales volumes, a single animal-shaped swimming ring sold more than 1,000 pieces a month. The rings, which range in price from 30 to 40 yuan to eight hundred yuan, are eye catching and can be worn over the chest, as well as allowing children and adults to sit directly on them. An online shop owner told the reporter that such a swimming ring is very popular, especially the travel consumer's welcome.
