Guangzhou Pencil Club Children'S Clothing Contains Fatal Defects.

A few days ago, the Shenzhen Municipal Council announced the results of a comparative test of the 50 batch of children (including infants and young children) in the Shenzhen market by the Longgang CC.

The experimental samples include burshlong, sparrow, pencil club, Ying Shi, Altman and many other well-known children's clothing brands, totaling 50.

According to the national mandatory standards and commodity express standards, there are 27 standards, and the compliance rate is only 54%.

Among them, the children's clothing such as pencil club and Beetle house were found to be unqualified.

Pencil club, Tai Chi, children's clothing

After the comparison test results were exposed, the 39 Health Network childcare channel respectively.

We first contacted the pencil Club headquarters, but the other party always kept a secret and did not answer the incident positively. On the other side, Tong Nie Yun children's clothing company had a positive response to the matter. The person in charge said: this incident is mainly due to the fact that the product contract children's clothing factory did not produce according to the model provided by the company. In the end, Tong Ni said that it would appeal to the manufacturer for legal action in order to give consumers a reasonable explanation.

Event playback:

Half of the children's clothes are safe.

The children's clothing quality spot checks were carried out earlier, and all 50 tests were compared.

This comparative test commissioned the Shenzhen testing center of the Chinese Academy of textile science, according to GB 5296.4-1998 "instructions on the use of textiles and clothing for consumer goods," and "GB 18401-2003" basic safety technical specifications for national textiles. With the express implementation standards, the identification, content of formaldehyde, pH value, banned decomposable aromatic amine dyes (banned azo dyes), odor and color fastness (color fastness) were also divided into 6 small items: water fastness, sweat fastness, color fastness, color fastness to dry friction, color fastness to wet rubbing and color fastness to saliva.

In addition, the Commission specifically commissioned the testing institute to test the flame retardancy of all samples according to GB/T 14644-1993 "determination of burning rate of textile fabrics in 45 degree direction".

The final test results surprised people: 46%

All children's clothing products were evaluated according to the national mandatory standards and commodity express standards, and the compliance rate was 27. The rate reached 54%.

According to the mandatory standard, 32 standards were met, and the rate reached 64%. According to the standard, 34 were up to 68% and the rate reached 68%.

The following is a comprehensive statistics of test results:

The pencil club is missing, and the {page_break} is safe.

In China's children's clothing sales market share, such as: burlung, sparrow, pencil club, Ying Shi, Altman and other well-known brands have accepted the quality test.

Therefore, many parents are very concerned about the announcement of the test results, after all, no one wants their children to wear poor quality children's clothing all the year round.

The results showed that the big names such as fort lion, Ying Shi, and sparrow were all successfully cleared - but the famous brands such as pencil club, beetle house, sun mouse and so on were unlucky.

Among them, the beetle House Children's clothing has many quality tests, but the results of the decomposition of harmful aromatic amine dyes in Tong Ni's children's clothes are shocking.

Children's clothing quality inspection must pass 8 passes.

The quality inspection of children's clothing organized by the Shenzhen Municipal Council is divided into 8 parts (identification analysis, composition analysis, formaldehyde content, pH value, odor, forbidden decomposition of aromatic amine dye analysis, color fastness, combustion performance).

The details of every test link and the list of children's clothing products are released to consumers, so that consumers can clearly understand whether the quality of children's clothing in the Chinese market is good or bad at present.

1, logo

Unqualified brand: Kitty mioaw

Logo (tag and water mark) is an important form of clothing instructions. It has the function of guiding and guiding consumers to choose products reasonably, protect consumers' rights and interests, enhance their reputation and promote product sales.

At the same time, it is also an important way to identify products and their quality, to reflect product characteristics, to reflect the special performance and usage of products.

It can be said that identification is the most direct way for consumers to understand their purchase goals.

Of all the 50 samples examined, Kitty mioaw brand children's clothing failed, because the brand did not mark the implementation standard and the type label was not standardized.

In addition, product grade labels are also inconsistent.

The main reason for the disqualification of the labels is that the producers and distributors are not familiar with the standards for the use of clothing and do not understand them.

Filling in wrong, filling or missing information is also an important factor in making mistakes.

It is suggested that clothing manufacturers and distributors make small samples in advance before making clothing labels, and then send professional testing organizations for testing, and then make the logo of finished products after being qualified.

The marking errors are mainly reflected in the following aspects: not indicating the implementation standard, not marking the grade of products, not marking the washing water symbols, not indicating the safety grade of the products, and labeling the fiber content not meeting the requirements. The wrong identification is mainly misleading, deceiving the consumers, and even causing consumer disputes, which seriously leads to quality safety accidents.

2. Component analysis

Unqualified brands: Beetle house, For.Dream Kids, sun mouse, Tong Ni ballad, ant ant, TOM JERRY, ET-CLUB, bainbo, Hai Wei and Wei opal.

When mom and Dad were buying children's clothing, they were very concerned about the fabric composition.

Generally speaking, the identification of the garment will clearly indicate the composition of the garment.

It is necessary to explain this item of clothing composition analysis. Component analysis is to detect the fiber content of fabric.

It can be said that the composition of raw materials is a description of commodity materials, an important basis for consumers to choose goods, and a major basis for genuine goods.

But there are 11 children's clothing products (For.Dream Kids has two unqualified) planted in the link of ingredient analysis.

This includes 49.8 yuan of parity clothing, but more than 300 yuan of expensive children's clothing. This really confirms a commercial training that "cheap is not good, expensive is not necessarily good."

From the results of this experiment, the problem of component content is more serious.

The conformance of identification components is the content of mandatory standard examination and the main content of "genuine goods".

The main reason for the failure of the ingredients is that the enterprises do not detect the contents of clothing before the listing of clothes, but only according to the ingredients provided by suppliers.

More businessmen intentionally distort the content of the clothing, in order to attract consumers to buy.

The main harm of the disqualification of clothing components is to act as better fiber name with the name of the more times fiber, and mislead and deceive the consumer.

Below is a list of substandard products: {page_break}

3, formaldehyde content

Unqualified brands: None

In the safety test of children's clothing, formaldehyde content testing is essential.

After all, there are a few cases of skin allergy caused by excessive formaldehyde.

However, in this test of formaldehyde content, all 50 children wear smoothly, which is a little gratifying.

Here is still a need to introduce formaldehyde overdose on the human body.

Formaldehyde will be brought into the fabric during the garment processing, and the formaldehyde content will be harmful to the human body.

When formaldehyde exceeds the standard, people will be released from the formaldehyde in the process of wearing, which will cause strong irritation to respiratory mucosa and skin through contact with respiratory tract and skin, causing respiratory inflammation and skin inflammation.

4, pH value (PH)

Unqualified brands: Beetle house, rubber star, little tiger Nicole

The purpose of pH testing for clothing fabrics is also to test whether clothes are harmful to human skin.

The pH value tested here refers to the size of water extraction acidity and alkalinity on textile products. The larger the pH value is, the smaller the alkalinity is, the smaller the acid value is, and the neutral pH value is 7.5.

Because human skin has a weak acid substance, it can prevent the invasion of germs. Therefore, the water extraction pH value of textiles is most beneficial to the skin from neutral to weak acidity.

If the pH value of the textile is too high, it will stimulate the skin and make the skin vulnerable to other pathogens.

After testing, the vast majority of children's wear samples conform to the regulations, but there are 3 brands of children's clothing pH value is alkaline.

Among them, the beetle house's children's clothing was unqualified, and it was once again planted in the detection of pH value.

Below is a list of failed pH value tests.

5, peculiar smell

Unqualified brands: None

The fifth test item is the smell test for children's wear.

It should be said that the most basic requirement of clothing production is to ensure that there is no smell, and when consumers buy it, it is easy to distinguish whether there is peculiar smell in clothes.

Therefore, the major manufacturers in the production of children's clothing also pay special attention to the smell problem.

Peculiar smell refers to some volatile substances, especially those with peculiar odors, which should be controlled or restricted to use, and the special odors emitted from textiles. This indicates that excessive chemical residues on textiles or chemical or biological deterioration of textiles will cause damage to human health.

So when buyers choose clothes, they should be careful if they smell bad smell. This is not a matter of taking time for clothes to be taken for granted, but relates to the health problems of infants and young children.

6. Disable decomposable aromatic amine dyes (banned azo dyes).

Unqualified brand: Tong Ni ballad

It is also a quality problem that consumers can't identify with the naked eye and the touch.

Whether clothes contain decomposable aromatic amine dyes is of great importance. This may even be related to human life and death.

Generally speaking, most azo dyes do not have harmful effects on human body, but azo dyes containing carcinogenic aromatic amines can cause harm to the human body.

The azo dyes that can decompose harmful aromatic amines are extremely harmful. The dyes on the fabrics are exposed to the human body for a long time. The dye is absorbed by the skin and diffused in the human body. It is mixed with the substances released by the daily metabolic process, and the reduction reaction results in the formation of carcinogenic aromatic amines.

This harmful substance changes the DNA of human cells through the activity of human body, inducing cancer or causing allergy.

During the test, Tong Ni ballad girl found that the benzidine contained 85mg per kilogram.

Benzidine is one of the derivatives of biphenyl. It is the first carcinogen of IARC. It has strong carcinogenic effect and is the intermediate of dyestuff synthesis. It is easy to exceed the standard in dyed cotton textiles.

Tong Niyao's so irresponsible behavior in clothing production is worrying.

7. Colour fastness

Unqualified brands: Rabbit logo, pencil club, TWIN KIDS, little lady and John, For.Dream Kids, Harry Beattie, Tong Ni ballad, ant ant, rubber star, PHENOM, snow ball, FUCHI FUNHOUSE, little pig Lulu, and Hai Wei

The color fastness test of clothing is a meticulous activity, which includes five major tests: water resistance test, sweat resistance test, washability test, friction resistance test and saliva resistance test.

A total of 14 children's wear brands were removed from the test, which is also the most important link in the test.

Color fastness is not a toxic factor in itself, but it is used as a test content because clothes dye may be attached to the body after fading, and through the corresponding physiological reaction, it may cause changes in the structure and function of DNA, and become the inducing factor of human diseases (such as cancer or allergy).

The following is a list of the unqualified products tested by pH value (it is worth mentioning that Harry Beattie has 4 unqualified tests in the 5 links):

The last judgement of the 50 children's clothing is the test of the resistance to combustion, and the 50 test items are all passed! However, it is necessary to test the combustion performance of the clothes.
