East Guangdong Children's Wear: "Safety" Worrying

With the advent of early autumn,

After the news of "Guangdong children's wear door" was released, reporters yesterday visited Shantou children's clothing wholesale market and several children's wear retail outlets to find out that the children's clothing produced in Guangzhou, Dongguan, Shenzhen, Foshan, Shantou and other places in the province accounted for a large share of the eastern Guangdong market, and the imported children's clothing was rare. Even some "imported" brands were also produced in the mainland, and many of them were still "Guangdong production".

The reporter noted that the children's wear signs in the retail market were quite chaotic. Not only did the manufacturers not identify the formaldehyde content in the children's clothing (according to the basic safety technical specification for National Textiles): except for the words "baby products", infant's clothing should be marked with formaldehyde, and the formaldehyde content should be more marked. Some small factories and miscellaneous manufacturers did not identify any categories of safety technology requirements, and some even labeled colors, styles and price items, suspected of "three no" products.

But these children's clothes with unknown materials and rough handle are fashionable because of their novelty, bright colors, and low prices.

The clothing of these doubtful questions has a long history of influence on children's growth. It is reported that the incidence of children's diseases and poor children's products account for over 5%, especially in children's clothing and infant clothing.

The problem children's clothes overturned the concept of "pure cotton = comfort and safety".

Because children's clothing is mostly made of pure cotton cloth, and pure cotton cloth is not easy to set. In order to make the clothes look beautiful, it is necessary to use formaldehyde and other stereotyping agents to fix the clothing styles, and formaldehyde should be the cheapest clothing setting agent. Clothing companies do not remove them in the processing process, which will easily lead to formaldehyde exceeding the standard and endanger children's health.

The formaldehyde and pH value of clothing are harmful to the human body. Contact can cause contact dermatitis in short term.

To this end, Guangdong experts suggest that the purchase of children's clothing is the best choice of formal manufacturers, but also pay attention to the safety labels on clothing, clearly identify the safety category.

The eastern Guangdong doctor pointed out that in order to prevent skin allergies, children had better buy white or light colored clothes.

Since the residual detergents will also be sensitized, the newly purchased clothing, especially the personal clothing, should be washed with clean water and then worn.

If allergic symptoms are detected, consult the dermatology specialist and receive treatment immediately.

All relevant departments should speed up their actions and increase the market's irregular monitoring and management density, especially during the opening period.
