To Buy Clothes For Children, Remember To Read Labels Clearly And Not To Follow Suit To Buy Famous Brands.

To buy clothes for children first see the GB follow suit. "Buy famous brand" is not reliable.

Food safety has always been a problem that parents attach great importance to and care about. In order to prevent the disease from entering the mouth, parents often try their best to find snacks and make meals for their children. However, while most parents pay close attention to food safety, they neglect the clothes they wear every day. They do not know that diseases will not only enter from the mouth, but also bring serious harm to children's health.

A number of provinces, cities, and departments of industry and Commerce have been right. Children's Wear Sampling inspection, some areas of children's clothing failure rate even more than 70%. Before that, AQSIQ also conducted spot checks on children's clothing in 9 provinces and municipalities directly under the central government including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shandong and Guangdong. The result is 20 batches of 210 batches of children and infant clothing produced by 210 enterprises.

Now that the Spring Festival is drawing near, many parents are busy buying new clothes for their children. This is a special reminder to consumers that they can choose children's wear with national standard, and that they should pay attention to the safety categories labeled on the tag.

Awkward new national standard

As a mandatory standard, it has been implemented for two years, but the market awareness is still low.

In order to protect children's health, since August 1, 2012, the national textile product quality supervision and inspection center has drafted a revised version of the national basic safety technical specification for textile products (GB18401 - 2010), which is fully enforced. Compared with the old version published in 2003, the scope of "infant clothing" in the new national standard expanded. First of all, the age range of "infant clothing" is extended from 2 to 3 years old, while the applicable range of height and size is increased from 80 cm to 100 cm.

In addition, the new GB also stipulates that the implementation criteria should be marked on the product badge, and according to the requirements of GB18401 - 2010, the safety technology category of the product should be marked. The basic safety technical requirements of textile products are divided into three categories: A, B and C, among which infants under 3 years old are below 100 cm. clothing It should comply with class a requirements and mark the words "baby products, GB18401 - 2010, class a" on the tag. It is understood that different levels also mean that the limits of some harmful substances are completely different, the class A is the most stringent, for example, the requirements for formaldehyde, the standard of Grade A is less than 20mg/ kg, class B is less than 75mg/ kg, C class is less than 300mg/ kg.

Today, the new national standard has been implemented for more than two years, but the reporter interviewed found that consumers do not have a high degree of awareness of them, and sales personnel are also somewhat smattering.

Parents' choice

Pick all the experience of hand, or believe that "buy expensive is right".

As the Spring Festival approaches, shopping malls, pregnant and infant shops and children's wear shops have launched various promotions to seize business opportunities. Many parents are also taking advantage of this opportunity to buy new clothes for their children. When parents choose clothes for their children, what are they most concerned about? And according to what to choose, a reporter interviewed 50 parents randomly. Most parents expressed that they were most concerned about the material, comfort and style. When a reporter asked how to choose whether he would look at the safety categories labeled on the tag, only 5 parents expressed their understanding of the safety level of children's clothing, and according to this standard, most parents were totally ignorant of it. They thought that as long as the material was cotton, they could usually be selected by hand feeling and experience, and a few parents recognized the brand name, and thought that it would be right to buy expensive.

"I usually buy all cotton for my children, wearing comfortably and sweating." On the morning of January 3rd, many parents were choosing clothes for children in the children's clothing sales area of Xinye square, Hexi District. During the conversation, Mrs. Zhou selected a pink T-shirt with a piglet pattern. She saw her hand touching her clothes and looked at the tag. "Well, it's quite soft, come here." Mrs. Zhou said that every time she bought clothes for her children, she had to look at the tag, mainly looking at whether the fabric was cotton or not, and then felt the handle by experience. And when the reporter asked if she would pay attention to the tag A, B and C on the tag, Mrs. Zhou looked puzzled: "what ABC ah, I haven't heard of it."

"Children grow fast, clothes need not pay so much attention, I tell you, milk powder, rice noodles, fruits, these children eat things I agree to spend more money to buy better quality, but clothes I usually in the street shop or foreign trade store to buy, cheap and good, always wear very good." Listening to the reporter's mention that inferior clothing can bring hidden dangers to children, Liu Hongli, who is looking for underwear for a year old son in a children's clothing store near Yan Yu District, Nankai District, is very surprised. She said, buying clothes for children looks nice, feels soft, smells no thorns, and is not sure about consulting salesmen.

Some mothers tend to buy big cards. Children's wear Especially now that the shopping malls are doing activities, mothers who have always loved the big children's clothing will never let go of such opportunities, and those parents who feel too expensive and buy "meat pain" are willing to spend all their money in choosing new year's clothes. "I don't know how to read grades, but I know that poor quality clothing will stimulate the baby's skin, so try to buy brand-name children's clothing in the shopping mall. I think the quality of every cent is guaranteed." In the five floor children's wear area of Lotte Department Store in Hexi District, Zhang Yue, a 4 year old baby's mother, told the reporter while she was carrying a good dress. "This dress is 1680 yuan, it's a French brand. It's all imported fabrics. It doesn't hurt the skin at all. Though it's expensive, it's the most important thing to wear for children."

Market situation 3

Chaotic children's clothing market

Whether the tag or business promotion is deliberately or unintentionally evading the national standard.

The tag is full of labels.

A few days ago, the reporter visited the wholesale market of the big Hutong, the children's clothing area on the first floor of Meijiang sixth Garden Commercial Plaza, and the children's clothing shop near Pingshan road and Nankai Yan Yu District in Hexi District. During the visit, the reporter carefully checked the clothes hanging tag, and found that the logo on the tag is just like the style of children's clothing.

In a baby's living room, the reporters found that many children's clothing tags were not classified as A, B and C. Some of them only printed "first-class", "qualified products", "100% cotton" or "baby products". Some of the clothes were not tagged with any effective information, all in English and Han Wen.

Some of the tags are old and new national standard mashup. The reporter saw a small shirt suitable for children's height of 80 centimeters and priced at 120 yuan strawberry pattern. The tag said "GB18401 2003". Strangely though it was executed by the old edition standard, there was also a "class a" formaldehyde content in line with the national standard. There were also some sizes of children's clothing under 100 centimeters. The safety technology category was labeled GB18401 2010 B. "We sell pure cotton and children wear no problems at all." A shop assistant said he did not know the safety requirements for children's clothing.

Scratch the ball to avoid the national standard.

Some shrewd businesses have played the edge ball, intentionally avoiding 100 centimeters. According to the requirements of the new national standard, 0 to 3 years old, the size of 100 cm infant clothing implements class a standard, but some children grow fast, maybe more than 100 cm at the age of two years, and some parents like to buy their children some larger clothes. The businessman is right on this point. The age is labeled as suitable for 2 to 4 years old, and the safety technology standard is B. Some shopkeepers claim that the minimum size is 105 centimeters, and 3 year olds can wear them.

Online shopping outlets for poor children's clothing

In addition, the online shop is also a distribution center for children's clothing. The reporter went to a shopping website to search for "baby clothes". There were about 33 thousand and 500 pieces of baby. Some children's clothing brands had detailed picture information and test reports, which showed that they were in line with the "GB18401 2010A class" standard. However, there are still many online shops in the publicity page did not clearly indicate the evidence consistent with the new national standard, when a reporter consulted whether the customer service products conform to the "GB18401 2010A class" standard, the answer is vague. Reporters found that merchants in online shops usually attract customers with the signs of "foreign trade", "Korean imports" and "cotton fabrics", but they fail to provide proof of compliance with the new GB standards. The reporter then reviewed the comments, and some buyers said, "the taste is so great that they dare not wear it." "It's not the same as the description." And so on.

Brand children's wear also has problems.

Wholesale market, roadside shop and online shop. What is the situation of brand clothing? Brand clothing The situation is much better than that of a small store, with tag and tag. The tag is marked with clothing trademark, Chinese factory name, factory site, commodity name, commodity execution standard number, commodity quality grade, safety technology category and so on. The label also has models, specifications, fiber contents, washing methods and so on. But after careful examination, it is found that there are still children who do not reach the standard and label the children's clothes unofficially. A reporter at a children's clothing store in the negative layer of Hexi District Galaxy International Shopping Center sees that a children's clothing marked 100 cm in size has written "B class" in the column of safety category. In this regard, the shop explained: "brand clothing quality is certainly no problem, class A, B need not care too much." In addition, reporters in a number of brand children's clothing store also saw that most children's clothing marked "class a", "baby products" and other words, but the implementation standard only wrote GB18401, did not mark the year. What are the secrets of children's clothing?

It was found that there were many unqualified children's clothes, mainly from roadside stores, foreign trade shops, online stores, roadside stores and online stores, which mainly came from some small businesses, whose quality was uneven and their products were unqualified. Therefore, the reporter mainly investigated the children's clothes which were regarded as "fragrant pastry" by parents and the expensive children's clothes that were expensive.

Nowadays, many small stores sell children's clothing under the banner of "foreign trade order" and "foreign trade tail cargo". During the new year's day, the reporter visited several such shops, and found that the brand names of the foreign trade clothing brands that advertised "original single quality products" were not good, but the price varied, but they were much lower than that of the brand children's wear shops. The lowest children's trousers needed only 8 yuan. <
