In children's life, school supplies and children's clothing are indispensable, and the quality of these products cannot be ignored. A little carelessness will bring potential dangers to children.

Recently, the Hangzhou Municipal Market Supervision Administration released a notice on the website of the Public Notice of Product Supervision and Random Inspection Categories in 2023 (I). According to the Information Sheet of Hangzhou Product Quality Random Inspection in 2023 (Children, Student Supplies) (2023) HSGJJJWZ No. 1, 415 enterprises were selected for inspection, with a qualification rate of 92.2% and a disqualification rate of 7.7%.

From the data provided, we can see that there are some common unqualified items in children's and student supplies. The following are the main unqualified items and their proportion:

The breaking strength accounts for 18.8%. This means that the materials of some children's and students' articles may be defective, unable to withstand normal use or wear, and prone to fracture or wear. Secondly, the identification problem accounted for 12.5%, indicating that some products may not have correct labels or marks, which led to consumers being unable to accurately understand the material, size, washing method and other information of products. In addition, the proportion of unqualified pH value reached 9.4%, which may cause irritation to children's skin and cause allergy or other health problems.

In addition, the proportion of unqualified holes and gaps is 9.4%, which may increase the risk of children swallowing small parts or other objects by mistake. The proportion of unqualified fiber content is 9.4%, which may cause the product to fail to achieve the expected warmth, breathability or comfort effects. In addition, 6.3% of infants and children's clothes are unqualified, which may cause safety problems, such as children being strangled or stuck by the rope when playing.

In other unqualified items, the color fastness to wet rubbing, fiber content, and dry rubbing accounted for more than 3%. The existence of these problems may lead to fading, pilling or shrinking of children's clothes, affecting the beauty and comfort of clothes. At the same time, the proportion of unqualified phthalates is 3.1%, which may have an impact on children's reproductive system and cause health problems.

These unqualified items may affect the safety and health of infants and children, so attention should be paid to them. When purchasing infants and children's clothing, consumers should pay attention to selecting children's and students' supplies that meet the standards and regulations to ensure safety and health. At the same time, manufacturers and distributors should also strengthen quality management and supervision to ensure that the products sold for children and students meet the standards and regulations.
