The national standard "Toy Safety" implemented in 2016 has a clearer scope of application, adding requirements for 6 plasticizers including DBP, BBP, DEHP, DNOP, DINP, DIDP, etc., in order to protect the hearing of children, especially infants. Sound-producing toys have a maximum volume limit of 65 decibels; new requirements for magnets and magnetic parts are added to prevent magnetic materials or parts from being swallowed by children and causing injuries; in order to prevent possible combustion injuries from toys, the burning speed requirements for parts that are easy to catch fire are increased And warnings, etc.; widened the scope of control of hazardous substances.

Recently, the reporter interviewed many young parents, most of whom said they did not know that children’s clothes and toys have national standards. Mr. Chen, a citizen of Haikou, said that he usually buys clothes for his 1-year-old son. If he sees that one is beautiful, he will buy that one. He will never go to see if the label is marked as Class A; he usually takes his son out and buys toys if he is noisy. , I will buy one for my son at will, as long as the son stops crying. "I have heard of the national standard of children's toys, but I don't know what it is."

Ms. Huang, a citizen of Haikou, said that most of the clothes bought for her half-year-old daughter were purchased online, and the actual items were not seen at all. After the clothes were sent home, they were taken apart and the quality was good, so they would not be returned. She said that she was not very clear about whether she knew that infant clothing must be category A. The clothes for children mainly considered fit and beautiful.

The plush toys in the Boai Henglu wholesale store have no labels.

Many shops in the wholesale market are substandard

Are there any substandard products in the baby clothes and toy market in Haikou? On March 2, the reporter visited the wholesale market on Bo'ai Heng Road in Haikou City and found multiple problems. In a shop with no store name, there were piles of various baby clothes. I picked up one piece and checked it carefully. It was found that there was only one trademark, and the label did not indicate that it was category A clothes. According to the boss, she purchased the goods from Guangzhou, and the market price after shipment to Haikou is 18 yuan/piece, and the product quality is guaranteed.

In another store on Bo’ai Henglu, the reporter saw that some of the baby’s clothing labels did not have A-type marks, and there were no manufacturers, factory names, factory addresses, etc. What was surprising was that some of the baby’s clothing labels were actually glued on. It can be easily removed by hand.

In a plush toy wholesale store, the reporter found that most of the toys here were wrapped in transparent plastic bags without any labels, not to mention flammable warning signs. The reporter picked up a plush teddy bear, and after checking it, there were a lot of wool on his body. If a child uses such a toy, the fallen wool is likely to be sucked into the child's stomach and affect his health.

On the same day, the reporter was walking on Bo'ai Heng Road. The children's toy shop on the side of the road attracted the attention of many children, and the sound of some children's toy electric cars was significantly higher than 65 decibels. It is understood that 60 to 70 decibels are displayed as noisy, similar to the people talking loudly, while the sound of toy electric cars sold by some businesses is harsh.

Industry and commerce investigate and deal with according to law and require rectification

Based on what they learned, the reporter then reported to Wenmingdong Industrial and Commercial Office in the jurisdiction, and industrial and commercial law enforcement officers rushed to the scene to investigate.

For the operator at No. 152, Bo’ai Heng Road, suspected of selling unqualified infant clothes, law enforcement officers required the merchants to remove all the clothes without the manufacturer’s factory name and address, and required rectification for some of the clothes without labels, and required the provision of clothes without a category mark Relevant documents, etc.

According to the law enforcement officers at the scene, in recent years, the industrial and commercial office has investigated and dealt with many cases of selling unqualified clothes, and will seriously investigate and deal with many problems in this store in accordance with the law.

On the same day, the industrial and commercial law enforcement officers also investigated and punished the stuffed toys sold by Haikou Meilan Runxing Department Store without any labels, sealed the toys in place, and asked the merchants to provide the manufacturers, names, addresses, and products of the stuffed toys. Certificates, etc. If it is not possible to provide it, it will be seized as the "three-no" product and fined.

There is no Class A mark on the label of children's clothing.

Merchants say they are crowded with online stores and have no living space

During the interview, the owner of Haikou Meilan Runxing Department Store said that the online store has already crowded them with no living space. If they also wholesale expensive toys, no one will buy them. This batch of plush toys was purchased from a small factory in Guangzhou. Although the price is lower, the certificates are complete.

A merchant who did not want to be named introduced that the baby clothes she sells are all taken from Shenzhen, which are much cheaper, but the label does not have a type A logo. A few years ago, merchants in downtown Haikou came to wholesale this kind of clothes for sale, but in the past two years basically no merchants in the urban area came to pick up the goods, because the children's clothing market in the urban area has been occupied by brand stores, and parents like it. Buy clothes online. At present, most of the people who come to wholesale are from various towns in Haikou. The price of selling them back to the township market is cheap, which is in line with the needs of low-income rural residents.

No matter how many reasons a business has, it should sell children's clothing and toys that meet national standards. This is not only responsible for children, but also a manifestation of their integrity.

How to distinguish true and false A clothing

This newspaper reminds parents to pay attention to the label identification and instructions for use when choosing children's clothing. Because infants and young children are in the early stages of development, their skin is delicate and improperly dressed may cause hidden dangers to their safety and health. According to the owner of a senior infant clothing store, many infant and toddler clothing that does not meet the Class A standard at all, the manufacturers also put on qualified coats to avoid inspections. Parents should take a look in addition to the signs. , Touch it, smell it.

Have a touch: Try to choose pure natural fiber products, such as pure cotton. Due to the delicate skin of infants and young children, their self-adjusting ability is poor, and cotton products have become the first choice for infant clothing because of their soft hand feel, good moisture absorption, good breathability and comfortable wearing.

Take a look: pay attention to the appearance quality of the clothing, such as whether the collar is correct and symmetrical, whether the placket is straight, whether the pattern is consistent, whether the fabric has obvious defects, etc. For personal wear, try to choose light-colored products.

Smell: Open the clothes packaging, first sniff the clothes for any odors, and be sure to choose products without odors (musty, gasoline, kerosene, fishy, ​​etc.).

Precautions for buying children's toys

Look at the toy logo and safety warning signs, and see if the product has passed the national "3c" certification. At the same time, pay attention to check whether the toy indicates the name and address of the manufacturer or seller, the trademark of the manufacturer or distributor, the product certificate, and whether there are safety warnings and warning reminders, and refuse to purchase the three-no product.

Pay attention to the safety of toys. Be cautious when buying colored toys with chemical components such as benzene, cadmium, and lead that may be harmful to children. Do not choose toys with strong fragrance or peculiar smell. Don’t buy stuffed toys for a while. It’s best to buy stuffed toys at regular stores to avoid harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde.

Pay attention to purchase by age. When buying toys, you can choose according to the child's age and specific intelligence level. Do not buy toys that are older than the actual age group to avoid potential safety hazards. Especially when choosing toys for children under 3 years old, be careful not to buy toys with sharp appearance and small toys that may be swallowed or inhaled by children.

Pay attention to the effect of vocal toys on children's hearing. When buying audio toys, try to avoid sharp sounds, and choose toys with a softer sound and a volume below 65 decibels to avoid adverse effects on children's hearing.
