Recently, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission voted through the relevant agencies.

Appeal

It is harmful to all toys metal jewelry containing more than trace cadmium and must be banned.

Before that, several states in the United States had set a rigid limit on the cadmium content of children's jewelry.

California stipulates that the cadmium content of children's jewelry should not exceed 300 ppm by weight, and will take effect in January 1, 2012.

The existing restrictions in Illinois and Minnesota, as well as the restrictions imposed in July 1, 2014 in Congo, will be on the total cadmium content of the jewelry with a weight of more than 75 ppm.

At the same time, the Canadian government plans to develop measures to limit cadmium content in children's jewelry or to ban it completely.

The Canadian Ministry of health has proposed that the maximum limit of cadmium in children's products is 0.013%. The government believes that within this scope, children will not be life-threatening if they swallow small jewels inadvertently.

In order to further understand the above information, I consulted the first CPSC in China.

The authorized third party testing body PONY spectrum test.

PONY spectroscopy expert told the author that in recent years, children's products contain lead.

report

The recall has aroused widespread public concern. Children's manufacturers agree on the ban on lead in products. However, a few manufacturers in the international market have replaced cadmium with heavy metals such as cadmium.

In view of this situation, more and more countries are making laws and regulations to limit cadmium in children's jewelry.

Cadmium is a carcinogen, mainly used for nickel cadmium batteries, coatings, electroplating and plastic stabilizers.

Cadmium can irritation to the respiratory tract. Long term exposure can cause loss of smell, gingival macular or yellow circles. Cadmium compounds are not easily absorbed by the intestine, but can be absorbed by the body through respiration, and accumulate in the liver or kidneys. This is especially damaging to the kidneys, and can also lead to osteoporosis and softening.

If a child sucks or bites away cadmium containing substances for a long time, it will absorb toxic components, which may lead to bone lesions and learning disabilities.

PONY pony testing expert pointed out that the restriction of cadmium content is urgent. Toy enterprises should respond positively to the call and abandon the harmful cadmium containing materials to make children's jewelry.

PONY pony testing expert recommends that toy manufacturers establish the correct concept of product safety, with the help of professional and authoritative third party testing institutions, and timely understand the introduction and updating of international laws and regulations. Through testing to ensure product safety and quality compliance, and strictly control the quality and safety of their products, we should be aware of the foresight and win the favor of buyers with high-quality products and win the international market.
