Some high-priced foreign-brand tents are suffering from a spate of consumer complaints about their quality in the South Korean outdoor goods market, industry sources said Thursday.
According to the sources, the WeatherMaster Wide 2 Room COCOON, a premium tent released this year by U.S. camping gear maker Coleman, received complaints that its color became mottled.
The problem was revealed in the tent priced at nearly 2 million won ($1,875), made mainly by the company‘s plant in China, the sources said.
