New regulations implemented full moon reporter visits found -

ZARA sold unsafe children's clothes.

Starting from August 1st, textile products for infants and young children under 3 must meet the highest safety class a.

It has been more than a month since the new regulations came into operation. The reporter has found that there are still a large number of non category infant clothing sold in the store or the street foreign trade store.

Many parents and salesmen do not even know such a rule.

New regulation: "infant" clothing expands scope

August 1st, the new edition of the state

The basic safety technical specification of products has replaced the 2003 edition of GB, becoming a new mandatory national standard for textiles.

The specification extended the age range of infant textile coverage, and changed the definition of infant clothing products from "textile products worn or used by infants under 24 months of age" to "textile products worn or used by infants aged 36 months or less."

According to formaldehyde content, pH value, odor and other indicators, clothing is divided into three safety levels: A, B and C, infant clothing must meet category a requirements, and label "infant clothing category a" on the label.

The new standard was originally implemented in August 1st last year, and delayed the implementation of a certain buffer period for enterprises.

Since August 1st this year, textile products which do not conform to the national basic safety technical specifications for textile products are prohibited from production, sale and importation.

Survey: non class children's wear is still on sale.

In the children's products area of Yansha outlets, many brands are offering discount sales for summer wear.

Reporters on okaidi, cars, good children and other well-known brands of shelves saw that some of the products are category A, but B tagged are also rare.

In the ZARA store of Chaoyang Joy City, the reporter even saw the children's clothing labeled as C (see photo). The size of the jacket is 2 to 3 years old, and there is no "baby clothes" on the label, but the column of safety category is clearly labeled "C".

For the various safety categories, the sales staff of the relevant brands have indicated that some of the garments sold are produced when the old national standard is executed. "There is no definite requirement for the shelves. The new products produced after August 1st should be all right."

The street children's clothing stores are not so optimistic. There are not many infants and young children in the category A, but some of them do not even label the safety category. This situation is more obvious than those under the banner of "foreign trade".

In a clothing store at Jintai Road, the children's clothes that the reporters looked at did not mention safety categories.

"It's all foreign trade. The quality is good."

The shopkeeper worked hard to sell his products to reporters. "You feel that they are pure cotton, and you can rest assured that the children will wear them."

And for the implementation of the new national standard, the boss was vague and perfunctory, and did not give a clear answer.

Parents: never notice labels information

Gong Dingyu, chief operating officer of the famous pregnant and infant chain company, Yue you pregnant baby, said that young children generally have the habit of biting their clothes, so the most important thing for children's clothing is reliable material.

But in the interview, the reporter found that not only did the business perfunct the new regulations, many parents knew nothing about it, but they did not notice this information when they bought clothes for their children.

"Mainly look at the style, the quality is also more attention, try your hand, feel very comfortable on the line."

In Yansha orlies, a citizen who is buying clothes for his grandson told reporters that he did not know that the country had such a thing.

I didn't notice this information. "I really need to pay attention to it later. After all, children's health is most important."
