According to experts from the Shenzhen inspection and Quarantine Bureau, chemical hazards are the main reason for the recall of footwear products, accounting for 82.48% of the total recall, while most of them are over two of fumaric acid methyl ester (DMF), accounting for 94.69% of the recall due to chemical hazards.

Fumaric acid two methyl ester (DMF) is widely used in shoes leather, fabric lining, insole and upper, as well as small bags in shoes and shoes packaging to make antiseptic and mildew proof agents.

Contact with shoes containing two methyl esters of fumarate and leather sofa can cause skin allergies, acute eczema and burns.

Experts believe that since the European Commission passed the relevant laws in March 17, 2009, the main reason for the frequent recall is that most manufacturers lack the knowledge of laws and regulations in importing countries. They only focus on the physical performance of products, ignoring the most concerned product safety issues in Europe and the United States.

Another important reason that can not be ignored is the adult design of children's shoes, inlaid small ornaments and metal buttons, and there is a risk of suffocation caused by children's improper swallowing.

According to statistics, in the first quarter of this year, a total of 25374 batches of footwear products exported from Shenzhen port, valued at $666 million 97 thousand and 600, increased by 99.2% and 150.6% respectively compared with the same period last year.

Exports to Europe and the United States, a total of 3345 batches, the value of $156 million 977 thousand and 600, compared with the same period last year increased by 81.79%, 44.61%.

At present, the footwear products exported to Shenzhen have not yet been recalled by Europe and the United States.

Nevertheless, experts from the Shenzhen inspection and Quarantine Bureau suggest that Shenzhen enterprises should pay close attention to the laws and regulations of importing countries, improve their early warning ability, collect, collate and follow up the latest testing standards of export countries through various channels, and timely understand the standards and norms of footwear design and production in exporting countries.

Actively communicate with customers, evaluate the safety performance of product design, and do not blindly follow orders.

At the same time, we must check the procurement of raw materials, strengthen the ability of self inspection, and strictly inspect raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products.
