Rectification or Exit? Tracking the Final Fate of Companies Exposed During 2025's 315

Radar Financial News: Every year on the 3.15 Consumer Rights Day Gala, CCTV exposes some of the hidden chaos behind consumer spending. From food safety to personal privacy, from home appliance repairs to financial lending, the companies exposed often become the focus of public opinion instantly. However, once the hype subsides, what happens to these companies? Do they genuinely reform and rebuild, or do they disappear quietly and face severe punishment? This article tracks the follow-up of companies exposed at the 2025 3.15 Gala to reveal the real picture one year later.

Last year’s 3.15 Gala highlighted serious safety issues with personal care products. Liangshan Xixi Paper Products Co., Ltd., which used defective materials to produce refurbished sanitary pads, was among the first.

Tianyancha business information shows that the company was established in March 2022, with Liu Chengqian as legal representative and an initial registered capital of 1 million RMB. Notably, in July 2024, the company’s registered capital plummeted to 10,000 RMB, a 99% decrease. Currently, the company is fully owned by Liu Chengqian, with a business scope including paper product manufacturing and sales. This significant capital reduction is seen as a sign that the company is shrinking its defenses or even preparing to exit the market.

In the disposable underwear sector, the situation is even more severe. Shenzhen Oushilalan Clothing Co., Ltd. was exposed for products not being sterilized. Tianyancha information shows that the company was established in October 2018, with a registered capital of 3 million RMB, jointly held by Li Junwei and Li Meixia. In March 2025, the company was listed as operating abnormally due to “being uncontactable at the registered address or business premises.”

Another exposed company, Yuheng Clothing Processing Factory in Yucheng County (operator Lin Guqin), has directly come to an end. This individual business, established in 2023, is now listed as “cancelled” on Tianyancha.

These cases indicate that for companies that touch the bottom line of human health and safety, regulatory and market pressures are accelerating their exit.

In the home appliance repair industry, Chongqing Woodpecker Network Technology Co., Ltd. was criticized for opaque charges and price fraud.

Tianyancha data shows that the company was founded in 2014, with a registered capital of about 24.09 million RMB. Besides this exposure, the company has previously been enforced for about 214,000 RMB and involved in multiple legal lawsuits, including labor disputes, contract disputes, and infringement cases. Frequent lawsuits and enforcement records show that its reputation has been severely damaged, and its operations are struggling.

In the food sector, fraudulent practices have faced more direct administrative penalties. For example, Salt City Haichuangyuan Food Co., Ltd., which was involved in the “water-retaining shrimp” weight-inflation scandal, paid a heavy price. Tianyancha shows that in May 2025, the company was fined about 699,000 RMB by the Sheyang County Market Supervision Administration for improper labeling and management violations, and illegal gains of about 140,000 RMB were confiscated.

Even more painfully, Zhanjiang Shangfangzhou Food Co., Ltd. was fined about 2.26 million RMB by Suixi County Market Supervision Administration and had its food production license revoked. This means the company has completely lost the qualification to produce food, bringing its illegal activities to an end.

In fintech and data security, violations are also being strictly punished, with some companies attempting to “rebrand” to escape crisis.

Tianyancha shows that Renrenxin (Tianjin) Technology Co., Ltd. was listed as operating abnormally on March 31, 2025, due to being uncontactable at the registered address. The company was wholly owned by Ma Jun and previously engaged in software development and data processing services.

Chengdu Jiebao Technology Co., Ltd. underwent a major personnel overhaul. Records show that in December 2025, the original legal representative Wang Lu resigned, replaced by Chen Taichun. Behind this leadership change, there seems to be an attempt by the company to cut ties and shift responsibility to handle the crisis.

In the “big data customer acquisition” chaos involving user privacy theft, multiple companies faced liquidation:

Liaoning Yunqi Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.: first listed as operating abnormally, then announced dissolution registration in April 2025 due to “resolution to dissolve.”

Beijing Huike Technology Co., Ltd.: in December 2025, added a case of final judgment, with unpaid amounts reaching over 2.49 million RMB.

Zhongshan Lvxin Computer Technology Co., Ltd.: fined 1 million RMB in June 2025 for violating online commodity trading regulations.

These data clearly show that companies infringing on consumer privacy are facing dual legal and market sanctions, with their survival space shrinking rapidly.

Phone lottery scams and cable “slimming” issues also did not escape regulatory scrutiny. Several companies involved in false advertising received hefty fines.

Tianyancha shows that in Hangzhou, multiple internet tech companies were heavily fined for false or misleading advertising about product performance and user reviews:

Hangzhou Nuhe Network Technology Co., Ltd.: fined and confiscated 1 million RMB;

Hangzhou Bianxian Mao Network Technology Co., Ltd.: fined and confiscated over 3.28 million RMB;

Zhejiang Nono Network Technology Co., Ltd.: fined and confiscated 1.54 million RMB;

Hangzhou Dui Jie Network Technology Co., Ltd.: the highest fine, reaching 4.94 million RMB.

In the wire and cable industry, Guangxi Nairong Cable Co., Ltd. and Guangxi Runxiong Cable Group Co., Ltd. were exposed for “slimming” (cutting corners) on products. Both were listed as operating abnormally for failing to publish annual reports as required. Although no license revocation has been seen yet, these credit blemishes will affect their bidding and market access for a long time.

Looking back over the past year, the fates of companies exposed at the 3.15 Gala have varied: some chose to cancel and escape, some shrank significantly through capital reduction, some faced hefty fines or license revocations, and others are mired in lawsuits. Although some companies attempted to “escape” by changing legal representatives or transferring assets, the tightening of big data supervision and credit systems means that the space for “rebranding” and survival is shrinking.

For consumers, paying attention to the follow-up of these companies is not just about witnessing “spectacle,” but also about supervising market purification to ensure every purchase is safe and worry-free. In the future, only companies that respect the law and consumer rights can achieve sustainable development.
