The formaldehyde detection test on the bags showed 284-585 miligrams of formaldehyde was detected per kilogram in the outer layer of the bags that were unopened, with 29.8-724 miligrams of formaldehyde detected per kilogram in the inside layer of the bags.

 

Starbucks Korea announced measures to respond to the issue in their apology. The company will replace the Summer Carry Bags with new bags, with the additional option for customers who do not want a bag to receive an online gift card worth 30,000 won.

The quality management sector of the company will be expanded and reorganized, while a system will be established to hire more personnel to oversee the process.
