Scandal-ridden Cuckoo losing edge in water, air purifier market

Cuckoo CEO Koo Bon-hak

By Park Si-soo

Cuckoo Electronics is falling out of favor with its customers in the wake of a series of scandals involving the company's core water and air purification products.

The scandals are seen to have let down the company's overseas customers and tarnished its budding reputation, dealing a blow to its ambitious overseas expansion, according to market insiders and analysts.

The Seoul-based firm has sought to expand overseas, especially in Southeast Asia, with high-end air purifiers. But their filters were recently found to have been tainted with a toxic chemical substance named octylisothiazolinone (OIT). Prof. Lim Jong-han of Inha University's medical school discovered the toxic substance in a test of five bestselling air purifying filters.

"Nearly 2,095 ppm of OIT was found on average in Cuckoo's filter," Lim said. Korea's environment ministry designated OIT as a toxic chemical in 2014, barring its use in the making of products that can pose health risks.


Amid soaring criticism, Cuckoo recently recalled OIT-contaminated filters in Korea, but market insiders said the company is reluctant to do so in overseas markets.

Last week, Cuckoo became a target for criticism once again for what TV regulators said were false and exaggerated promotions of its water purifiers on TV home shopping channels during the first half of this year. Several directors of Korea's two major TV shopping channels -- Home & Shopping and CJ O Shopping -- were disciplined heavily for airing misleading information on Cuckoo's water purifiers, according to the Korea Communications Standard Commission (KCSC).

"Cuckoo's water purifiers were promoted as if their filters make mineral-rich water that's good for health. The purifier is also promoted on the claim that its filtered water is effective in skincare and curing damaged skin," a KCSC official said. "These claims were proven to be groundless scientifically."

The official said the KCSC will put Cuckoo products under a watchful eye throughout the second half of the year to protect people from misleading information.

Financial analysts said these scandals would make it difficult for Cuckoo to reach its sales target for the second quarter. Citing the murky outlook, Meritz Securities recently revised down its target per-share price of Cuckoo from 250,000 won to 210,000 won.

Meanwhile, Coway, Korea's biggest water and air purifier maker that was recently hit by the so-called "nickel scandal," is quickly restoring customers' confidence with a swift recall and other compensation campaigns.

Coway & Cuckoo abang adik, that's why...
Coway previously was under Woongjin which already bankrupted in 2012.

For hot & cold water, what you need is water dispenser. You can easily get from any water filter shop for less than RM500, no need to spend few thousands.

Actually for hot & cold water the dispenser will need to have water tanks. Since filtered water will remove Chlorine which intend to kill bacteria, there is potential for microorganism to grow in the water tank. Hot & cold water is just a fancy additional features for "convenience", but how often do you really need hot & cold water?

There are a bundle of heavy metal elements here

Which RO system you think able to remove 100% of it? or 90%??

Anything to support your claims?
From what i know, purest water is distilled water.

Maybe, it's what you believe.

RO water is not a healthy way for long run.
You may read the report by WHO about demineralized water
http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health...ientschap12.pdf

Still it doesn't state what material use for the remizeralisation. Mineral won't just dissolve like that in water as it pass through rocks or materials. The most efficient way still is using chemical type mineral which dissolve rapidly in water.

Cool man, i wonder how much it cost for a filter, how much carats is your filter?

It means you never study on it, that's why you say it is overpriced.
Not all MLM are as bad as you said, study the tech behind and the price before judging.

When choosing water filter system, you should concern about the technology used and the quality of it. Most of the time we only buy once or twice water filter system in our life, so price shouldn't be the main concern.

Oh, u can still remove it when u r moving new house. Just a suggestion

So how is your eczema already? I also have this problem last time.

Eczema can't be cured completely but u can control it. U need more omega 3 to prevent it from inflammation & itchiness. Omega 3 can get from salmon fish or supplements. Cream and lotion only helps to soothe the problem temporary, need to take care of your diet to control it.

Amway eSpring have a separate faucet unit install beside the sink.

If u want to save space, the existing diverter valve already solved your problem??
The function of the diverter valve and the 3 way faucet have the same function what...
I never saw any 3 way faucet before, neither local or overseas, such as Switzerland, Taiwan, Singapore etc
Maybe what the 3 way diverter is used as a faucet by other brand of water treatment system?
