Sterra had claimed that three models of its air purifiers were made in Singapore when they were, in fact, made in China.

In another example, two of Sterra’s water purifiers were marked as “Korean” when they were neither sourced from nor manufactured in Korea, but were in fact manufactured in China.

Sterra also gave false discounts where the “usual”, pre-discounted prices that Sterra claimed for comparison with its discounted price were not genuine prices, and in fact, never offered to any customer.

Sterra’s directors, Lim Liangzhi and Lim Wei Hou, also gave personal undertakings to CCCS that they will not engage in any unfair trade practice, or facilitate Sterra to do so in future.

National water agency PUB noted Sterra's apology, saying that company repeatedly published online content implying that tap water in Singapore is not safe for consumption.

Sterra's Facebook advertisement in February 2024 had attempted to mislead the public into thinking that Singapore's tap water contains harmful micro-organisms such as bacteria and algae, said PUB.

Still got Powerpac, cheap and good. At least Powerpac don't resort to ranjiao misleading ads and overprice their items.

Powerpac products is the most value for money purchase, as they are no frills copy of branded products but with similar quality, esp their fans.

LOL, where is the sweatshop making those air purifiers located on this shithole island? Jurong? Ubi? Woodlands?

 

[laksaboy]

But of course.

They could have made Phua (CB) Chu Kang the ambassador for its products, but I guess this is the cheaper option.

 

[JurongEast]

I suggest cctv to promote their businesses and claim that Singapore is very unsafe and dangerous. See if black dog will bark

[Scrooball (clone)]

I thought it’s a couple of Ah Tiongs, but I was quite surprised to see Sinkies behind this.

This one smarter, never put his current company name down. But still a damn Sinkie.
