H&M's affiliated company Haines Morris (Shanghai) Commercial Co was ordered to add more information about company products by the local market regulator.

The company was given an administrative penalty from Shanghai Huangpu District market supervision and administration bureau last week for not putting on sufficient information, including the grade, name and content of main ingredients on its products, data from market information online platform Qichacha showed.

In March, Chinese consumers launched a widespread boycott of H&M, as the Swedish brand refused to source cotton grown in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in March. 

The company has dozens of administrative punishment records from Chinese market supervision departments, including selling shoddy products and false advertising. 

Haines Morris (Shanghai) Commercial Co. was established in November 2006 with a registered capital of 5 million euros ($6.11 million) as a wholly owned subsidiary of H&M.
