January 23, 2026 – A consumer recently reported receiving a pair of tights purchased from Amazon that were found to be contaminated with blood. The incident, involving a product from Chongqing Enge Science and Technology Ltd. dba COZYWOW, highlights significant hygiene and quality control concerns for consumers.
Product Details
Incident Overview
On December 27, 2025, a consumer received an order of tights purchased through Amazon. Upon inspection, the tights were discovered to have visible blood stains. The report specifically noted the presence of blood in the crotch area, appearing to be from a menstrual cycle, as well as on both legs of the stockings. The product was received directly by the consumer in this condition, raising immediate questions about product integrity, hygiene standards, and quality control throughout the supply chain. The manufacturer’s response to this incident is currently unknown.
Safety Concerns
This incident presents several significant safety concerns, primarily revolving around hygiene, potential biohazards, and consumer trust:
- Immediate Dangers: The primary immediate danger is potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens. While the risk of transmission from dried blood on clothing through casual contact might be low, the presence of human blood on new clothing creates a serious biohazard. This could potentially expose individuals to bacteria, viruses (such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or HIV, though transmission risk outside a medical setting is generally very low), or other infectious agents.
- Psychological Distress: Receiving a new garment contaminated with bodily fluids can cause significant psychological distress, disgust, and anxiety. Consumers expect new products to be clean, sanitary, and safe for immediate use. This incident violates that fundamental expectation.
- Allergic Reactions/Skin Irritation: Although less direct, unknown substances in the blood could potentially cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, especially if the clothing is worn before discovery.
- Who Might Be Affected: Any consumer who receives a product contaminated in this manner is at risk. This incident suggests a potential breakdown in manufacturing, packaging, or handling processes that could affect multiple items or batches, not just a single pair of tights.
- Property Contamination Potential: If the contaminated tights were handled without caution or placed with other clothing, there’s a risk of transferring bloodstains or potential contaminants to other garments or surfaces.
What Consumers Should Do
Consumers who have purchased COZYWOW tights from Amazon or any other retailer should take the following steps:
- Do Not Use or Wear: If you discover any foreign substances, stains, or damage on new clothing, do not wear or use the item.
- Handle with Caution: If the contamination appears to be bodily fluid, handle the item with gloves or place it directly into a sealed plastic bag without touching the affected areas.
- Inspect All New Clothing: Before wearing any new garment, thoroughly inspect it for any signs of contamination, damage, or unusual odors.
- Contact the Retailer Immediately: Reach out to Amazon (or your specific retailer) to report the issue, request a refund, and initiate a return. Be clear about the nature of the contamination.
- Contact the Manufacturer: Inform Chongqing Enge Science and Technology Ltd. dba COZYWOW about the incident to make them aware of the quality control issue.
- Report to Safety Authorities: File an incident report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at SaferProducts.gov. This helps safety authorities track incidents and identify potential widespread problems.
