YouTuber Er Bo apologizes amid plagiarism claims, admits to 'incomplete design records'

The brand's statement indicated a commitment to introspection and internal process review. It also confirmed that the disputed products have been progressively removed from shelves.

The brand's apology and subsequent actions aim to quell the controversy, but the lingering questions about its design process continue to cast a shadow.
