Infant Clothing Sampling 3 Into The Brand Unqualified

The health of infants and young children has always been the most concerned problem in the whole society. Since June 1, 2016, China has implemented GB31701-2015 infant and child.

The safety technical specification stipulates that the textile products for infants and young children under 3 must meet the highest safety level - class a requirements.

Recently, the Provincial Consumer Protection Committee has 29

A comparative test was conducted on infant garments. It was found that there were 16 indicators in 9 samples, accounting for 31.03% of the total sample size, including Snoopy, Ying Zi Fang, Qi Le rabbit and other famous brands.

29 brands of clothing samples tested 31% unqualified

Anhui Provincial Consumer Protection Committee staff randomly purchased samples in the market, all of them are infant clothing under 3 years old. The brand involves 29 brands, such as Adidas, Barbara, Decathlon, Qi Le rabbit, UNIQLO, Antarctica, ZARA, Snoopy, and so on. The production enterprises come from 8 provinces (cities) such as Anhui, Shanghai, Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shandong, Hebei and Hubei.

This comparative test was commissioned by Anhui Fiber Inspection Bureau.

The testing items include formaldehyde content, pH value, decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dye, extractable heavy metal content, color fastness, identification, clothing and sewing strength.

According to the published comparative report on the quality of infant garments, 20 of the 29 samples met the relevant standard requirements, accounting for 68.97% of the total sample size, and 16 of the remaining 9 samples had problems, accounting for 31.03% of the total sample size.

PH and color fastness are not qualified.

In the detection of pH value of 29 brand samples, only one of Snoopy's brand samples was detected beyond the scope stipulated by the state.

It is understood that pH value is an important indicator of the fabric's pH. If the pH value of the fabric is too large to the human skin, it will stimulate the skin, cause skin allergy or induce infection, and make the skin vulnerable to other pathogens.

The national standard stipulates that the pH value of infant clothing should be between 4.0-7.5, and the pH value of Snoopy sample is 8.4.

According to the characteristics of infants' delicate skin, large activity, sweating and frequent gnawing clothes, this test focuses on the dry color fastness to moisture, color fastness to rubbing, acid fastness, sweat fastness, water fastness and saliva fastness.

The results showed that among the 29 brand samples, 8 indexes of 3 brands of baby brand, Snoopy and Qi Le rabbit were lower than the national standard, and 46 color fastness indexes of 23 brand samples only reached the national minimum standard value.

Problems such as instructions, labels, shoulder straps and so on.

In this comparative test, it was found that 20 brands of 29 brands were not in conformity with the durability label position, accounting for 68.97% of the total number of samples tested.

According to the national mandatory standard GB31701-2015, the durable labels on children's clothing can be placed in a position not touching the skin.

This comparative test found that there were some problems in the use of annotation, Blue Sasha, tinkling cat and five colored rattan. There were some problems in the use and explanation of the 4 brand samples.

Some brand instructions are incomplete, indicating that the address of the manufacturer is not marked, and there is no telephone number, which brings inconvenience to the consumers after sales contact.

In this comparative test, there are 4 garment samples with shoulder straps, ropes and belts. The test results show that the clothing strength of the garment is only 30.7N. The shoulder straps of Sergent Major brand clothing are not fixed, discontinuous and have free ends.

In order to facilitate infants to wear and undress, shoulder straps, ropes and loops are very common, but there are also hidden dangers.

If the head and neck are not allowed to have a rope belt, the shoulder strap is not fixed, or the rope is too long, it may cause the suffocation of the neck of the infant and suffocate. 3-6mm's ornamental tensile strength is less than 50N, and the sewing strength is less than 70N.

Listening to the evaluation of "experienced mother"

This comparative experiment also invited more than ten experienced mothers in the volunteers' Library of the consumers' Association. According to their own experience, the mothers of the 29 brands were carefully judged on the safety of the permeability, softness, dimensional proportions, convenience of wearing, and matching (buttons and zippers) of the clothing of the brand samples.

Among the mothers' scores, the highest scores in four aspects, such as breathability, comfort, ease of wear, quality of work and so on, were UNIQLO's children's dresses; the aspect of flexibility was the highest among the brands; the rationality of the scale ratio was that the clothes of four brands of ANN, Qi Le rabbit, Rabbi and Les enphants were better than those of the other brands.

Remind consumers to choose "three look" labels and choose less colorful clothes.

In the face of brand, variety, price difference of various types of infant clothing.

How should consumers choose? The Consumer Protection Committee reminds consumers to pay attention to the following points:

1. pay attention to clothing instructions (labels).

When buying clothes for infants and young children, they should not only pay attention to the styles and prices of clothes. They must read the instructions for three times, that is to say, whether they are infants and young children (a) clothes; two, to see if there are factory names, factory sites and telephone calls; three, to see whether the fiber content and the implementation standards are correct.

2. choose less colorful clothes.

Infant skin is tender and sweaty, and secretions are more. We should choose to reduce the chance of dye residue and fade, and at the same time, it will not stimulate children's visual nerve color.

3. clothes should be large but not small.

In infants and young children, they grow very fast, especially those with elastic bands, which are not too tight, otherwise they will oppress children's chest and waist.

4. pay attention to the quality of clothing ropes and decorative accessories.

5. carefully check the packaging of infant clothing and keep plastic bags away from children.

6. infant clothing should not be dry cleaned. The newly purchased clothes must be cleaned and aired and then worn to the children.

(Anhui Provincial Consumer Protection Committee note: the comparison test samples were purchased before June 1, 2016, so the parameters of GB31701-2015 "infant and child textile product safety technical specification" are only available for consumers.
