Caution Should Be Paid To The Excessive Lead Content In Printed Children's Clothing.

Recently, Ningbo The textile inspection center of the inspection and Quarantine Bureau has returned a batch from the United States. Children's wear Printed webbing was tested for reasons for return. It has been tested that the lead in the printing of the products is as high as 1500 mg / kg, exceeding the standard nearly 17 times, far exceeding the total lead requirement of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on consumer products, and has a higher chemical safety risk, which directly led to the return of the batch products.

This is a typical case of unqualified textile chemical safety (lead content exceeding standard). According to analysis, lead is a cheap and efficient printing colorant. It is easy to combine with fiber and has good fixation effect. Lead is the first among many "culprits" endangering human health and intelligence. CPSC has strict limits on total lead, requiring that the limit of lead in the coating is 90 mg / kg.

There are three main reasons for the existence of chemical safety hazards in textile products: one is part. textile The risk awareness of manufacturing enterprises is not strong, blindly depends on raw materials supplied by raw materials suppliers, and does not detect lead in raw materials in time. Two, there is no clear regulation on export market regulations, and there are regulatory blind spots. Three, some enterprises in order to reduce costs and use cheaper lead-free printing colorants with cheaper prices and better fixation effect, the purpose of enhancing export commodity price competitiveness is achieved.

In view of the above situation, the inspection and quarantine department recommends that textile production enterprises should conscientiously study the regulatory requirements of the market countries. Two, we must strictly control quality and safety in the selection of raw materials and product design, and reduce the risk of product export. Small and medium-sized enterprises with relatively poor self-examination and self control ability should take the initiative to contact the inspection and quarantine departments, use social resources to achieve source checks, and ensure the quality and safety of export products.
