CCTV Reported That More Than 30% Children's Clothing Sampling Failed.

　　 Children's Day Soon, many children will receive new clothes. However, according to CCTV's report yesterday, the formaldehyde content and pH value of children's clothing produced by many manufacturers across the country are seriously exceeding the standard. Some children's clothing dyestuffs also contain decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amines. These will not only cause symptoms such as headache, dermatitis, eczema, but also lead to hemorrhagic cystitis and bladder cancer.

　　 The failure rate is 33.3%.

On the eve of the June 1 children's day, the staff of the Beijing Consumers Association bought children's clothes randomly from shopping malls, supermarkets, clothing markets and shopping websites. The samples involved 63 children and infant clothing sold or sold by 47 enterprises in seven provinces and cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong and Shaanxi. It mainly tests the fiber content of clothing, the color fastness of formaldehyde and pH value, and the seven quality indexes of decomposed aromatic amine dyes, which are forbidden by the state. After testing, 21 kinds of children's clothing had different quality problems, and were judged to be unqualified products, and the failure rate was 33.3%.

Jiang Yanxiang, senior garment engineer, believes that the production process and equipment of some production plants are relatively crude. Therefore, compared with the regular dyeing and printing factories, the cost of fabric is three or four yuan per meter, so some factories are considering how cheap the product is and how much quality is not considered.

　　 Problem 1 label ingredients are inconsistent.

The inspectors found that the contents of some of the fibers in some children's clothes were not in conformity with the actual situation. Experts told reporters that children's clothing fabrics are generally made of cotton, polyester fiber, nylon, spandex and other fabrics, because children's skin is delicate, so when parents choose clothes, most of them will choose clothes with high cotton content or even pure cotton fabric. The content of fiber reflects the composition of all kinds of fabrics.

It is understood that the use of polyester fiber can reduce the cost of children's clothing, but polyester fiber sweat absorbs and air permeability are poor. Experts believe that polyester fiber is not a good choice in children's clothing, and this is also a lot. Children's Wear It is one of the important reasons to mark cotton content in fabrics.

　　 Problem 2 containing decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amines

The national standard prohibits the use of dyes containing decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine substances, because dyes containing decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amines can be restored during the wearing process, which can cause lesions and even induce cancer, with a incubation period of up to 20 years.

According to the national requirements, a total of 24 kinds of decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amines are banned in all garments. According to the actual inspection, the naughty dog tag (item No. / Z016L) samples sold by the Beijing Baron World Trade mall without the label of manufacturer information contain benzidine and 3,3 '- two methoxy biphenyls, which are substandard products.

Benzidine is an intermediate of dye synthesis. It has strong carcinogenic effect. It can enter the body through respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract and skin. Long term contact can cause hemorrhagic cystitis, which can cause bladder cancer.

　　 Problem 3 formaldehyde exceeding standard can cause leukemia.

Among the safety indicators involved in children's clothing, formaldehyde, pH and decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amines are the most important. Formaldehyde content is the most concerned. Formaldehyde is added to children's clothing fabrics, which can prevent wrinkles, shrink and flame-retardant, and maintain dyeing durability. However, the clothing products with too high formaldehyde content will gradually release the formaldehyde from the clothing during the wearing process, which will cause harm to the human body through the skin and respiration of the human body. Long term exposure to formaldehyde can cause headache, dermatitis, eczema and other symptoms.

Liu Xiaoyan, director of Department of Dermatology, capital children's Hospital Affiliated to Beijing Institute of Pediatrics, said that children's skin is thin and tender, and sweat glands are much more. Formaldehyde can be dissolved in water and absorbed through the skin. Long-term chronic absorption will have an impact on children. One is direct skin irritation, the two is the stimulation of the nervous system after absorption, and strong formaldehyde can stimulate the respiratory tract. Shi Xiaodong, director of Department of Hematology at the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Capital Institute of Pediatrics, said that the time of volatilization, like formaldehyde, can last for 10 years. If this substance exists in the body, the most serious consequences can lead to canceration of cells, such as childhood leukemia.

　 The 410 samples are of poor color.

In the national basic safety technical specification for textile products, color fastness mainly refers to whether the colors dyed on textiles or clothing will fade or fade when contaminated by sweat or washing. According to the monitoring personnel, Children's Wear If in the presence of acid or alkali, such as water or sweat, it is easy to decolorization dye will adhere to the surface of human skin, long-term accumulation will cause harm to the human body.

The reporter interviewed an agent who was responsible for infant clothing in Northeast China. The other side introduced that when parents choose children's clothing, they are most concerned about whether the fabric is cotton or not.

At the same time, regular brands and shopping malls are safer to choose, because the quality inspection report must be issued when the brand enters the shopping mall, and the quality inspection report has a higher threshold for the process and fabric, which is difficult for ordinary small businesses to achieve. Many brand enterprises have higher cost of raw materials selection and higher selling price for quality inspection reports. In general, small shops or private shops do not have quality inspection reports, and their commodity reliability is relatively low.

Jiang Yanxiang, senior clothing engineer, also warned that in addition to focusing on the safety indicators of clothing itself, there may be hidden dangers in children's clothing design and accessories. From the perspective of clothing materials, whether it chooses top quality fabrics, from the perspective of children's clothing design, baby garments can not have rope or zipper metal objects.
