Children'S Clothing Safety Is Concerned About How To Bypass These "Minefields".

It is reported that children's clothing has attracted widespread attention due to the recall of a brand of children's pajamas in the world, which has been recalled in Japan recently.

In fact, the news of children's clothes being detected over formaldehyde in recent years has been reported repeatedly. Famous brands are frequently shot, and at present, the market is full of low price and three no brands.

Then, the world clothing shoes and hat net Xiaobian takes you to know how to bypass these clothes "minefields"...

Clothing for infants under 3 years of age must be class A.

Ms. Chen's daughter is 2 and a half years old. Her skin has symptoms of swelling, itching and other allergies.

The results of the hospital examination were unexpected: her daughter's skin allergy was not caused by diet or air environment, but the real "culprit" was the clothes the child was wearing.

"Toxic", which makes many parents feel that everything is going to be bad.

Experts from the Bureau of textile inspection said that in order to prevent wrinkles and shrink, or to maintain the durability of printing and dyeing, manufacturers will add formaldehyde.

If the residual formaldehyde in the fabric is not processed, it will be made into garments, which will gradually release during the wearing process and endanger human health. Children's clothing is no exception.

But when most parents choose to buy, they often neglect the categories of safety technology and lead children to wear children's clothes with excessive chemical composition.

However, it is not known that the toxic clothing with excessive numerical value will not immediately affect children, but it will be far-reaching.

"The physiology of infants and young children is not yet fully developed, and the brain will not selectively accept all kinds of excess chemicals in the blood.

What is even more frightening is that babies under 8 months of age have a higher rate of absorption of excessive chemicals in these children's clothing.

Among them, formaldehyde is the most harmful to infants and young children.

Formaldehyde can enter the body through diet, breathing or skin contact.

Long term intake of formaldehyde at low concentration can cause symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight loss, weakness and insomnia.

The toxic effects on infants are asthma, tracheitis, chromosomal abnormality, and decreased resistance.

Especially when children are exposed to too much formaldehyde during their infancy, they can lead to developmental deformities or even carcinogenesis.

Experts say.

In June 1st this year, China's first mandatory national standard for infants and children's textile products (children's wear) "infant and child textile product safety technical specification" (hereinafter referred to as "new national standard") was formally implemented.

The "new national standard" divides children's clothing into textile products for infants and young children for 36 months and below, and children's textile products for children over 3 years of age, 14 years old and below.

According to different safety requirements, children's clothing safety technology categories are divided into three categories: A, B and C. Infant textile products should meet the requirements of category A; children's textile products with direct contact with children should meet the requirements of category B at least; children's textile products with direct contact with children should at least meet the requirements of category C.

Infant textiles should be marked with "baby products" on the label.

In terms of chemical safety requirements, the "new national standard" has increased the requirements of 6 kinds of plasticizers and 2 kinds of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. In terms of mechanical safety, no rope is required for infants and children under 7 years of age. The textile accessories require attachments to have certain tensile strength, and there should be no sharp edges and sharp edges.

Parents rarely pay attention to safety technology when choosing children's clothing.

The "new national standard" has a pitional period of two years, that is, the production of baby textiles before June 1, 2016 and meeting the requirements of relevant standards will continue to be sold in the market until May 31, 2018.

What is the current market situation of baby textiles? The reporter interviewed found that the quality of children's clothing was uneven during the pition period, and the store was better than the private shops and stalls.

In a children's clothing shop on the seven road, the reporter saw that most of the newly installed children's summer wear labels were labeled "a category". Some labels on infant clothing were marked with "a", "B" and "baby products". Some only wrote "first-class goods" and "qualified products". The labels were rather vague, and some did not even have product descriptions.

In some large supermarkets, children's clothing monopoly area reporter saw that the infant clothing sold here was mostly middle and high-end brands. The labels of children's clothing were marked with the contents of fiber content, manufacturers, and so on.

Try to choose pure, light colored clothing.

How to avoid children's clothing when choosing clothes for children? First, check the labels on clothing when choosing clothes for children, and carefully inspect the trademarks, Chinese factory names, clothing logo, logo, washing instructions, certificates, execution standard numbers, product quality grades and safety categories.

Generally speaking, qualified children's garments should be fully standardized.

Formaldehyde mainly comes from cheap dyes and auxiliaries, so don't buy children's wrinkle resistant clothing, try to choose children's clothing with less pattern, and print on the pattern should not be very hard, and try not to buy bleached children's clothing.

It also depends on its chemical indicators, including pH value, formaldehyde content, color fastness and heavy metal content of metal fittings such as buttons.

These values can be seen in the test report of clothing, to meet the national A-level standards.

For this reason, children's clothing with pure color, light color or pink color can be given priority.

Look at the physical indicators of clothing.

Mainly clothing materials, infant clothing best use of 100% cotton material, good cotton fabric is combed cotton.

If the clothes are pilling on the surface, it is not.

If there is a lot of yarn on the surface of the garment, it is not combed cotton.

In addition, special attention should be paid to the special odors emitted from some textile products, such as mildew, gasoline and kerosene, fishy smell and so on. These odors often indicate excessive chemical residues on textiles.

Children's clothes bought just now must be cleaned and dried before they can be worn by infants and young children.

Clothing bags can not be ignored.

The formaldehyde of many clothes comes from unqualified bags, so the quality of the bags is better. If the clothes are mailed, they should also be sealed.

Finally, infants and young children's clothing should be carefully treated with laundry fluids, preferably with infant and infant detergents.

This prevents chemical residues from stimulating baby skin and reducing skin allergies.
