"I bought a foreign trade dress for my granddaughter. I found a large red itch on the second night. I went to the hospital to know that it was skin allergy. After testing, I found that it was caused by excessive formaldehyde in the clothes."

Clothes do not wash, wear allergies.

In the palace lady's home, the reporter saw this trouble clothes.

The clothes are yellow short sleeves, with lovely cartoon designs on it, which do not see any problems in appearance, but there is a fishy smell on the nose.

Madam Gong said that the dress was bought at the three stop, which only cost 5 yuan. The clothes had been cut off when buying, and the shopkeeper said it was a foreign trade surplus.

As for the smell of the smell, the shopkeeper said that it was a backlog.

The clothes were taken home, and the bright colors made the 2 and a half years old grandchildren very fond of them. They could hardly wait to be dressed.

The child has been sleeping with grandma.

On the second night, the child who had always been sleeping had been sleeping very hard. She had been talking about it all the time. She felt strange in her mind. When she turned on the light, she was frightened. The child's chest and back were flushed. The child kept scratching. It was hard to wait until dawn to go to the hospital, and then hung the bottle and took the medicine. It cost 577 yuan.

Formaldehyde content exceeding standard

Looking at the child's uncomfortable appearance, madam Gong, after being excluded, put her eyes on this dress. She sent her clothes to the quality supervision department for testing. The Quality Supervision Department concluded that the formaldehyde content was seriously exceeded.

Madam Gong learned knowledge from the experts from the Municipal Bureau of quality supervision.

Quality supervision experts said that the public should pay attention to the special smell of textiles, such as mildew, gasoline and kerosene flavor, fishy smell, etc., especially pay attention to the new smell when opening the packaging, indicating that there are excessive chemical residues on the textile.

If you buy new clothes, especially those with direct contact with the skin, no matter what the price is, they should be cleaned first and then dry in the sun. If the pH exceeds the standard, cleaning will help eliminate the skin damage.

Formaldehyde content and pH value should be indicated in clothing.

Shopkeepers said: "because of cheap, children's clothing sales are very good, we do not pick styles, buy a lot of pieces!

Cheap and affordable, everyone is willing to pay. "

When asked by reporters, will there be quality unqualified, such as formaldehyde over standard problem, shopkeepers said: "these clothes are exported to the rest, how can the export of formaldehyde exceed the standard?"
