Industry Tips: Children'S Shoes Should Be Protected Against Excessive Lead Content.

The near future,

Taizhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau in the export footwear products inspection and supervision found that the total lead content of children's shoes in the United States failed to pass the test, and the product had serious safety and quality risks.

The reasons for the unqualified lead content in children's shoes are analyzed. The main reason is that raw material production enterprises failed to effectively control lead content, such as adding materials or waste materials in the production process of sole and PU leather, or using other inferior auxiliary materials to cause pollution. The shoe making enterprises did not pay much attention to the safety and quality risks of raw materials, and failed to take effective measures to verify the quality.

The United States is one of the most stringent countries in the regulation of lead content in children's products. Its Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act stipulates that the total lead content of children under 12 years old and below has been reduced from 300ppm to 100ppm since August 14, 2011.

Inspection and quarantine agency reminds exports

In the process of production, inspection and so on, we should improve the safety and quality awareness of the whole staff. Enterprises should establish a stable supply chain, select qualified suppliers according to their own product quality requirements, and establish a stable communication and cooperation mechanism to ensure that the suppliers obtain the complete, clear and accurate quality information of raw materials and accessories, avoid the quality control of raw materials, and further strengthen the verification work of raw materials and materials, and carry out inspection and verification of the necessary toxic and harmful substances for the materials such as bottom, side, sole, printing ink, surface spray paint and so on. After that, they are used for production. They should strengthen communication with the inspection and quarantine departments and overseas customers, and timely understand the latest relevant laws and standards of foreign countries, and take effective measures to deal with them so as to avoid economic losses. We should strengthen the awareness of product safety and quality, strengthen the collection and study of safety and quality regulations of foreign products, fully grasp the requirements related to product safety and quality, and implement them in marketing, design and procurement.
