Foreign Children's Clothing Has Hidden Dangers. How Long Will It Take To Buy Them?

In recent years, with a large number of imports clothing Entering the domestic market, some of the consumers with certain economic strength, especially those born in the more advantageous environment, will be buying expensive imported children's clothing. Some consumers blindly prefer foreign products and buy overseas baby clothes through "Hai Tao". Foreign brands are not all high quality and high quality products. High quality products can be purchased abroad through the Internet. It is likely that the quality is difficult to guarantee and there are potential safety risks.

According to the data of imported children's clothing at Shenzhen port, from January 2012 to June 2013, the 276 ports imported children's clothing and infant clothing products were tested at the Shenzhen port. The results showed that there were 30 batches of unqualified products. Among them, there were many famous international brands such as ZARA, KOALA BABY and BABIESRUS, with an unqualified rate of 10.87%. The main unqualified items of imported children's wear and infant clothing were pH values. Spin Products are resistant to rubbing color fastness and fiber content, mainly from Pakistan, South Korea, Bangladesh, Turkey, Kampuchea and other countries.

Children's skin is delicate, the proportion of body surface area and body weight is higher than that of adults, and is more sensitive to the changes of external environment. The vascular network is more close to the epidermis than adults, and the skin connective tissue is rich in matrix, and the water content of tissue is higher than that of adults. These characteristics different from adults make children vulnerable to injury and infection when exposed to external stimuli.

The pH value on the surface of human skin is weak acidic, which is between 4.5 and 6.5. It is a barrier for the human body to prevent the invasion of germs. If the pH value of children's clothing is too high or too low, it will damage the pH balance of children's skin, destroy the natural barrier of the skin's surface, produce irritation, breed bacteria, cause skin allergy, itch and other symptoms, and even cause skin infection.

The good and bad color fastness is also directly related to children's health and safety. The vast majority of dyes do not cause cancer themselves, but because dyes are a low toxic substance, if dyes and fabrics are not firmly integrated, when dyes, sweat or saliva, the dyes on the fabrics will fall off easily and transfer from textiles to human skin. Due to the catalysis of human sweat and saliva, dyes will be reduced to harmful substances and then absorbed through the skin of children. In addition, dye molecules and heavy metal ions in pigments are likely to be harmful to the health of children through the absorption of their skin and affect the growth and development of children. For infants and young children, they are more likely to absorb these harmful substances through saliva because they like to suck their clothes. Children's clothing, which is not consistent with the actual detection, often fails to meet the requirements of quality and even damages children's health.

To create a market environment conducive to the healthy growth of children, it is necessary not only for inspection and quarantine departments to strengthen quality and safety checks, but also for consumers to enhance their awareness of quality and safety, deepen their learning and understanding of imported children's clothing related knowledge and carry out scientific and rational cost elimination to minimize the possibility of injury to children caused by unqualified imported children's clothing.

The inspection and quarantine department reminds consumers to pay attention to the following points when purchasing imported children's clothing.

First, we should pay attention to see whether the labels of products meet the requirements of relevant standards in China, whether they indicate the quality and safety information such as safety technology category, fiber content and so on, whether they indicate the origin, import enterprises and other related information, and should pay attention to the requirements of different age groups and different types of clothing to meet the requirements of different safety levels.

Two, try to buy clothes with small patterns, light colors and simple styles. Children's clothing, especially infant clothing, should be the first choice of natural fibers. Do not blindly pursue gorgeous and fancy styles, and buy as little as possible infants' clothing with coated prints, so that children can not chew them. clothes Dye and chemical agents enter the body. Try to buy fashionable children's clothing with rope or bright diamonds, small pearls, sequins and other small parts to avoid the danger of winding around the neck and swallowing small parts.

Three, children's clothes that have just been bought need cleaning and drying before they can be worn for infants and young children, especially ironing children's clothing. Don't hang them in the wardrobe immediately. It's best to rinse them with clean water to reduce the formaldehyde content in clothing, and hang them in the ventilating place when they are not worn.

Four, do not blindly think that the quality of products sold abroad is superior to those of domestic imports. Blindly follow suit and choose online shopping for baby clothes abroad. We should strengthen the ability to identify imported garments, purchase children's clothing through regular sales channels such as stores, counters, official website trading platforms, and retain good receipts, invoices and other purchase evidence, so as to effectively protect their legitimate rights and interests in the event of product quality and safety disputes.
