It is reported, this year Choice "cat putty award" focus mainly on 7 enterprises. Among them, the federal bank (Commonwealth Bank) 's Dollarmites program became the "big winner".

Moreover, it was recently revealed that employees had falsely manipulated thousands of children's accounts in order to earn bonuses and meet performance indicators, making it on the list.
In addition, a number of enterprise portable crib products have been named. Choice conducted safety tests on 60 cribs and found that the hair portion was not up to standard.
Of the 12 new cribs recently examined, only 2 passed safety tests. The rest of the cribs are not secure enough, and crevices in the guardrail may jam the baby's head.
Companies that fail safety tests for crib products include B4baby, Babyco, Babyhood, Baby Bjorn, Baby Solutions, Childcare, Elite Baby, Joie, Love N Care, Phil&Teds, Steelcraft, Target and Vee Bee.
