Recently, the Shenzhen Industrial and Commercial Department found in the spot check on the market that only 126 batches of this type of product were qualified, and the pass rate was only 14.3%. It is also reported that most of the products in some supermarkets and wholesale markets in Beijing do not have product identification. Experts pointed out that if improperly purchased, it may cause health problems, consumers must pay attention.
Wang Baojun, director of the National Cotton Textile Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, said that textile safety indicators include color fastness, pH and formaldehyde content. At present, unqualified products are often accompanied by serious problems such as discoloration, shrinkage, and blending of textile fabrics, and a few products even have pH or formaldehyde exceeding the standard.
Director Wang said that textiles with serious discoloration may release azo dyes, which will be absorbed after contact with the skin. The dyes undergo reduction reaction to form aromatic amine compounds, which are harmful to the human body and may cause cancer when exposed for a long time.
Natural fibers such as cotton have the most affinity for the human body. Compared with other polyester-blend products, they are safer and more reliable, and are less likely to cause skin allergies.
The pH of the bedding exceeds the acceptable level on the surface of the human skin, which will damage the normal pH of the skin, affect its defense function, and make the bacteria more invasive.
Formaldehyde is harmful to human skin and respiratory tract. If it exceeds the standard, prolonged exposure may lead to skin diseases and even cancer.
The safety category is divided into three levels, Director Wang reminds everyone to buy bedding, it is best to go to the formal place to buy brand products with a certain reputation and credibility. Don't be tempted to buy cheap, go to the stalls, wholesale markets and other places to buy products of unknown origin.
In addition, it is important to see the product identification. According to the relevant regulations, bedding should be marked when sold. These include ingredients, specifications, washing methods, product grades, and more. Label items should include manufacturer, site, product name, implementation standards, product specifications, ingredient content, and washing methods.
At the same time, Director Wang also pointed out that the safety category of products is also closely related to health. It is usually divided into three levels: Class A means that it is suitable for infants and young children, Class B means that it can directly contact the skin, and Class C means that it cannot directly contact the skin.
In addition to the purchase of bedding, in addition to the door, Director Wang also introduced several simple and effective identification methods. The first is to look at the appearance. Good quality bedding, clear lines, full print, fine cloth surface, no blurry texture, rough printing. Consumers should choose products that are lighter in color or natural in color, because they are not easy to fade. Some products with strong colors may be faded due to excessive dyeing. In addition, there is a simple test: put a piece of white cloth on the product and rub it back and forth. If it is found that the white cloth has signs of dyeing, it will show that it will fade.
The second is to smell the smell. Good quality products are generally fresh and natural, with no odor. If you open the package and smell the pungent smell, such as sour smell, it is probably because the formaldehyde or pH in the product is too high, it is best not to buy. Currently, the mandatory standard for textile pH is 4.0-7.5.
The third is to touch the texture. The good product feels comfortable and delicate, and has a tightness. It feels rough and loose. Detecting pure cotton products, it can be ignited by a few filaments, and it is normal to emit burnt paper when burning. It can also be smashed by hand, and there is no 疙瘩 description that it is a pure cotton product. If there is cockroach, it means chemical fiber.
