Quality and Technical Supervision: nearly 50% of children's clothing is not "healthy"

Buy children's clothing must be carefully selected, buying the wrong will affect the child's health. October 12, the reporter learned from the Supervision Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, at present, the city children's clothing quality inspection pass rate was only 52.5%, of which the failure rate of 47.5%. In other words, nearly 50% of children's clothing is not up to standard. Although the unqualified products are mainly small ones with unknown signs, the individual "disease-causing" problems will affect the children's health. It is understood that the inspection of children's clothing market, the main spot checks a number of large businesses children's clothing. The test items mainly PH, color fastness, fiber composition and label signs. A total of 40 sets of children's clothing were tested, 21 samples were qualified, and 19 samples were unqualified. A wear "big base" clothes susceptible to dermatitis PH value, is the apparel, textile safety performance indicators, it is to measure the degree of acidity of the fabric "hard bar." Normal human PH value between 4.0-7.5, was weak acid neutral. According to regulations, clothing PH value should be close to the human body PH value. In the sampling process, the staff found that individual children's clothing PH value is alkaline, is a serious overweight phenomenon. So, "big base" clothing on the health of children what harm it? Staff said the human skin is weakly acidic, if prolonged exposure to high alkaline clothes, can cause allergic dermatitis and other diseases. Cause clothing "base big" reason is that the fabric in the dyeing and finishing process the last process, there is no alkaline material rinse, remaining in the fabric. Safe practice is: After buying clothes for your child, it is best to use "water" wash again, as much as possible to hide the alkaline substances in clothing washed. B poor color fastness clothes off color clothes color standards, is determined by the color fastness. Some children's apparel fabrics manufacturers, in the poor color fastness, rinse inadequate cases, the use of substandard fabrics make clothing, resulting in children's clothing easy to fade phenomenon. Staff said the poor fastness of clothing, water, sweat or saliva, it will fade, not only affect the appearance, and these substandard fabrics contained heavy metal ions, dye molecules fall off after contact with the skin, easy to be skin Absorption, endangering health. C less cotton content easily damaged skin Children's clothing and more cotton fabrics, the random checks of fiber content, found that some children's clothing manufacturers can not be a real mark of fiber (cotton) content. Staff said they actually measured children's clothing, the actual cotton content of clothing is often lower than the content of the label. Cotton with higher volume of clothing, soft, firm grip, no astringent sound, posted on the skin, no sense of excitement. The amount of cotton with insufficient clothing, then feel rough, feels a "handle" of the feeling, it can be seen on the child's immature skin is not good. D to see the safety technology categories and signs So, young parents to buy clothes for the baby, how to identify the quality? Staff introduction, children's clothing products according to the "National Safety Technical Code for Textile Basic" mandatory standards, we must mark GB18401-2003 quality certification mark. In addition, the clothing label, should also indicate the children's clothing category. Children's clothing points A, B, C three categories. Among them, Class A is for infants and young children's products; Class B is direct contact with skin products; Class C is non-contact skin type. When buying children's clothing, be sure to see the categories. In addition, should also indicate the exact Chinese factory name, site and brand name. Some garment manufacturers in order to reduce packaging costs, still use the old packaging does not meet the requirements. Marked items are not marked, consumers can not fully understand the intrinsic quality of clothing and information. The sampling, the label failed products accounted for more than 84% of substandard products. E "three small" clothing can not buy At present, large-scale shopping malls in our city, supermarket sales of major brands of children's clothing pass rates are generally higher. These regular mall sales are more regular manufacturers of products, is the national quality supervision department inspection, the quality of clearance, good reputation. On the contrary, some small manufacturers, small brands, small businesses producing and selling "three small" children's clothing, a higher failure rate. Staff said that consumers buy clothing to children, try to choose the regular manufacturers and shopping malls sales of clothing. Good reputation and quality, so that consumers feel more assured when buying.
