Buying Home Textiles Should Pay More Attention.

Recently, a news about "carcinogenicity of home textiles" once again made consumers nervous, for fear of "poison home textiles" trick. After examining the quality of the bed products, the Beijing business department found that many brands of products were classified as substandard products. Among them, two brands of Yalu and Jinpei were found to contain carcinogenic substances, "decomposable aromatic amine" dyes.

Reporters yesterday found in several supermarkets, Yalu and Jinpei two home textile brand products are selling well, but reporters did not find that "toxic" products in the style of sales.

Problem brands are sold without toxic products.

Among the unqualified brands and products that were publicized, four sets of fancy jacquard prints of Dongguan Yalu home textiles and four sets of fashionable Korean pieces of Shanghai brocade home textiles were tested for carcinogenic "decomposable aromatic amine" dyes. For a while, "poison home textile" also let consumers tense nerves.

So, are there two "drug-related" sheets sold on the market in Nanjing? Reporters visited several supermarkets yesterday, and found that the two home textile brands of "Ya Lu" and "Jinpei" are popular in the Nanjing market. In the home textiles category rack of Jin run fat supermarket, the reporters found that the two brands occupy a large position of shelves, involving different kinds of home textiles, such as silk quilt, wool quilt, and four piece sets on the bed. Among them, the "Yalu" home textile is still showing a promotional location in a prominent position, and a promotional price of four piece sets in bed is less than 100 yuan.

In the four sets of shelves on the bed, "Ya Lu", "Jinpei" two brands are three or four products are sold, but reporters did not find products detected carcinogenic dyes. The supermarket staff told reporters that all the styles were on the shelf, the elegant four piece sets of elegant jacquard printing and the fashionable Korean style of Shanghai Jinpei home textiles.

Most consumers buy home textiles only to look at the colors.

The quality of home textile products is directly related to the health problems of their families. However, when interviewed by reporters, it is found that there are many kinds of home textiles, and most consumers will not have a thorough study of their quality when buying. Apart from their size, they basically choose to choose flowers and colors.

Experts from the Nanjing product quality supervision and Inspection Institute said that if there were repeated cleaning and washing, the quality of the textile products that were still fading could be quality problems. Apart from decomposing aromatic amine dyes, household use Spin The pH value and color fastness of the products are easy to exceed the standard. "PH value is not qualified, contact directly with the skin, it is easy to cause skin allergy. Formaldehyde exists in textile finishing agents, which can lead to dermatitis and inflammation of respiratory tract mucosa. Color fastness is not up to standard, and molecules and heavy metal ions in dye may be absorbed by the skin and harm health. The expert said that in addition to flower colors, the purchase of home textiles items should pay attention to these problems.

Carcinogenic dyes have been banned for 10 years.

According to reporters, the "decomposable aromatic amine" dye is a kind of toxic chemical which makes textile products easier to color and brighter. But because of its low cost and fast color, some textile factories will use this as raw material for processing. However, the harmful components of such dyes are easily absorbed by the skin and cause malignant diseases.

Insiders said that around 2003, more than 20 kinds of decomposable aromatic amine dyes were banned. China's mandatory standard "national textile basic safety technical specification" (GB18401-2010) also explicitly requested that A, B and C textiles must be banned from decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes. "The dyes for bedding are usually replaced by reactive dyes. In comparison, the cost per metre will be about 1 yuan." A well-known brand home textile related staff said that once the enterprise lacks common sense and lacks social responsibility, it will be "toxic". cloth "And" poison home textiles "will be looped into the market.

Buying home textiles should pay more attention.

There are many kinds of home textile products, and infant textile products must conform to class a. The products that directly contact the skin should conform to class B at least. The products that do not directly contact the skin should conform to class C at least. A qualified product should be marked on the identification label. So before buying, we need to see if the logo is complete and the content is accurate. It is better to sniff at a distance whether there is a pungent odor. If there is a bad smell, it is likely that the formaldehyde exceeds the standard. We need to feel more about it. If there is any hair loss or fading, we'd better not buy it.

In addition, experts from Nanjing product quality supervision and Inspection Institute point out that decomposable aromatic amine is insoluble in water, colorless and tasteless, and can not be discern from appearance. Only by technical inspection can it be found and can not be eliminated. Red, purple and other dark textiles contain the possibility of decomposing aromatic amine dyes, and try to choose products with light color, plain color or small pattern, so that the risk of formaldehyde and color fastness exceeding standard is relatively small.
