Safety Of Children'S Wear: The Most Neglected Problem By Parents

A survey from the Institute of family consumption shows that 68% of the "post-80s" parents are most concerned about whether the styles are fashionable and fashionable for their children to buy children's clothing. 90% of the "post-80s" parents do not know or fail to understand the safety of children's clothes.

According to the survey, Chinese mothers are more concerned about food safety and are not concerned about the safety of children's clothing. Now parents buy clothes for their children. Most of their attention is focused on asking prices, looking at brands, picking styles and choosing sizes. Few parents pay attention to the labels on clothing, and whether the design of zippers, rope and so on is reasonable and so on.

Xie Qing, Deputy Secretary General of China clothing association, said that there are more than 6000 brands of children's clothing in China, and the production of children's clothing accounts for 6% of the total clothing. With the rapid expansion of children's wear market, the safety of children's wear has become an important problem that can not be ignored.

"Children's clothing safety is not only a problem of production enterprises, but also a topic of concern in supply chain such as printing and dyeing, processing and so on." Xie Qing explained further about the safety of children's clothing supply chain. He said, for example, children's T-shirts should be printed on some patterns, some children's clothing enterprises after the production, to the printing and dyeing enterprises to print and dyeing, dyeing and printing plants used dyes often azo, resulting in over standard. Therefore, children's clothing safety is sometimes not in the production enterprises of children's clothing, but in the children's clothing printing and dyeing enterprises. This is a big quality control of children's clothing. bottleneck 。

Xie Qing said that only by paying attention to the safety of the whole industry chain can we truly achieve safe children's clothing.

As a professional representative of children's wear industry, Wu Fangfang, President of green box, China's famous online children's wear brand, pointed out that there are two prominent hidden dangers in the safety of children's clothing nowadays. First, the chemical substances on the fabric of children's clothing, such as azo and formaldehyde, are harmful to the human body. Formaldehyde can be washed away with water, but azo is difficult to wash in a few years, and the damage to children is long. The two is the needle inspection technology, which is easy to be overlooked in the production technology of children's clothing. Recessive But dominant.

According to the introduction, the safety problem of children's clothing is mainly dyes. Azo dyes are also called decomposable aromatic amine dyes. If they contact with human body for a long time, they will cause human diseases and induce cancer. Therefore, China's national basic safety technical specification for textile products has already provided for the prohibition of the use of decomposable aromatic amine dyes.

Liu Liangyu, vice chairman of the China Association for social work and director of the Committee on social assistance for children, said that the whole society should pay great attention to the safety of children's clothing. According to the statistics of the capital children's Institute, the incidence of child diseases and poor children's products account for more than 5%. Especially in children's clothing and infant clothing, formaldehyde exceeds the standard to become the biggest killer, while parents know little about related knowledge. Some printing children's clothing enterprises do not use environmental protection products, which lead to some children's clothing that flows to the market and contains toxic substances, which cause children's physical health. potential Threats.

Many celebrities including the Chinese, children and children have also called on the whole society to give their children a healthy growth space, calling on some international children's wear brands to jointly promote "attention to children's wear safety action", so that more parents can understand the safety of children's clothing and choose children's clothes for children.

At the safe start of children's wear, the green box also took the lead in making promises to the society that its children's clothing should carry out a safe operation mode. For example, fabric entry inspection requires all fabrics to be activated to ensure their safety. In addition to their own factories, the production process will also be selected as partners through internationally certified factories with good manufacturing process testing. Children's clothing inspection contents include: testing textile formaldehyde content, textile pH value, color fastness to water, acid perspiration fastness, alkali fastness to perspiration, color fastness to dry friction, saliva color fastness, odor, decomposable aromatic amine dyes and so on. In view of the current domestic easy to ignore the needle inspection report, the green box requires its factory to cooperate, if the worker once finds a broken needle, until the original broken needle is recovered, a new needle can be replaced. It is reported that this year's green box children's clothing listed in autumn and winter has fabric, clothing and needle inspection reports.

Experts also suggest that we should try to choose pure cotton soft children's clothing and avoid overly coloured colors, because these colors are more difficult to pass than those in light colors in terms of color fastness and other testing indexes. At the same time, the safety factor of children's clothing with large brands is also relatively high. China Quality Daily
