“洗衣液奶茶”，全部下架！
近日，江苏省南京市某泰式餐饮店的椰奶饮品引发网络争议，该奶茶外包装看似是洗衣液，实则内部装着椰奶饮品。有网友质疑，这种包装会不会误导孩子，增加儿童误食家中洗衣液的风险？5月17日，这三家泰式餐饮门店表示，均已下架所有“洗衣液奶茶”商品。截至目前，各大外卖平台也均无该商品出现。
A brand of milk tea has been pulled from the shelves in China due to the striking resemblance of its packaging to laundry detergent bottles, after alarmed consumers feared it could mislead children into drinking cleaning liquid.
The Thai-style milk tea, produced in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, eastern China, is packaged with Thai characters printed on the label in bottles which look exactly like those used by common laundry liquids and other cleaning products, with a similar handle and lid, news site Jimu News reported.
The milk tea was being sold in 500ml bottles in the restaurant chain's three outlets across the city.
The unusual bottle design caused heated online discussions on Weibo over the weekend, with internet users debating the resemblance to laundry detergent.
"Its design is novel. However, I am afraid some parents don't tell their kids about the potential danger from this type of packaging similarity. After the kids drink the milk tea once, they may drink dishwashing liquid at home thinking it is also milk tea," a second person commented.
A third person said: "You can be creative in design, but you should be socially responsible. This kind of packaging would definitely mislead children and could result in serious consequences."
The local market supervision authority said that they would launch an investigation into the packaging.
The company said it had changed the packs on Sunday after the online panic, Nanjing newspaper the Yangtze Evening News reported. But a waiter at the restaurant said they had noticed fewer customers buying the milk tea after altering the products' packaging.
Wu Zhengping, a lawyer from Hubei Shouyi Law Firm, told Jimu News that food safety is not only related to food quality but is also related to safety risks caused by packaging style and methods.
"According to the Food Safety Law, the authorities' food safety risk assessment system monitors food quality as well as the safety of the food's packaging," he said.
