Six Price Chromium Exceeded The Standard 2400 Pairs Of Shoes Were Destroyed &Nbsp; A Shoe Company In Wenzhou Was Named By The EU.

Recently, the European Commission non food quick warning system (RAPEX) issued the ninth issue of 2012 bulletin, Wenzhou "5th Avenue" brand lady leather surface.

The European Commission's non food quick warning system will issue a product warning notice every week.

This bulletin is generally communicated to the European Commission by EU Member States.

In the bulletin of the ninth phase of this year, a "shoe 5th Avenue" brand leather leather shoes produced by a shoe manufacturer in Wenzhou, Zhejiang was notified by the system that the six price chromium exceeded the standard.

According to the circular, 2400 pairs of shoes have been destroyed and cost more than 3 US dollars.

It is reported that there are 9 cases involving six valent chromium exceeding the standard in the announcement. All the raw materials of these bulletin products are leather, including 5 gloves, 3 footwear and 1 waist belts.

Six valent chromium is an extremely toxic substance that is swallowed / inhaled. Skin contact can cause sensitivity. It is more likely to cause genetic genetic defects. Inhalation may cause cancer and endanger the environment.

Six valent chromium compounds are carcinogenic in vivo, and can cause many other health problems, such as runny nose, sneezing, itching, nosebleeds, ulceration or perforation of nasal septum.

After the announcement, the Wenzhou entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau responded at the first time and reminded the relevant export enterprises that they should pay close attention to the six valent chromium content of the exported leather products, and speed up the improvement or adjustment of the tanning process so as to avoid the high toxic residues of six valent chromium.

At the same time, we should strengthen the procurement management of raw and auxiliary materials, select qualified material suppliers, and strengthen the inspection of incoming goods.

Yesterday, Zhejiang AOKANG footwear Limited by Share Ltd spokesman Wang Hailong told reporters that leather itself does not contain six valent chromium.

The shoe companies in Wenzhou were found to have exceeded six standard chromium by the EU, probably in other raw materials during leather processing.

Wang Hailong said that since the EU abolished anti-dumping duties on leather products in China, the China Leather Association has put forward early warning for leather related enterprises, and should strengthen the checks on product quality so as to avoid the EU's trade barriers to the export of domestic leather enterprises through other means.

However, Wang Hailong said at the same time that the EU has not yet heard that the EU has taken a larger scale to the domestic leather enterprises. "Only the individual enterprises will be taken measures by the European Union because they do not meet the industry standards."
