Jiangsu: Children's furniture excessive formaldehyde serious

Before and after the Sixtieth, the reports on the quality of children's products were overwhelming. This seemed to be a traditional song that Children's Day must sing every year. What is the quality of children’s products that are highly regarded? There are 400 million children in the country, and the “baby market” is more than 100 billion. However, not commensurate with the huge market size, the quality of children's products is worrying.

E-commerce platform checks are not qualified "Liuyi" before the Provincial Bureau of Quality Supervision announced a group of children's furniture random checks and risk monitoring results: sampling of 131 batches of products only 46 batches of qualified, qualified rate of only 35%. Concern is that none of the 56 batches of products checked by the e-commerce platform have been qualified, and they are "annihilated."

The reporter found that some furniture formaldehyde exceeded 7 times, volatile time up to 10 years. Nearly half of home-based companies ignore the structural safety of children's homes. They have poor consideration on details such as edges and edges, and are prone to collision injuries. The person in charge of the product quality supervision department of the Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau stated that these problems are not undeniable technical problems. As long as the production enterprises pay attention, the passing rate is expected to rise significantly.

After years of monitoring, the quality supervision department has also found a rule: the quality of children's products is generally better for large companies than for small businesses, small businesses are better than small workshops; physical stores are far better than e-commerce platforms, and urban markets are better than Rural market. At present, due to the serious lack of product supervision for online sales channels and the lack of sound laws and regulations, children's products on the e-commerce platform have also become the hardest-hit areas for quality problems.

This year, for the first time, Suzhou City carried out supervision, spot checks and risk monitoring of children's furniture products. According to Pan Yi, Minister of Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Division of the Municipality, a total of 39 batches of products were spot-checked, with a pass rate of 61.5%. All 15 batches of unqualified products were from the e-commerce platform. The origins involved Guangdong, Fujian and Shanghai. Provinces and cities.

The supervision of network products faces cross-regional challenges. “After discovering the problems and risks, we will send inspection reports, related documents, and relevant purchase vouchers to the relevant regulatory authorities in the production enterprises' localities,” said Wu Shen, Deputy Director of Quality Management and Supervision Department of Suzhou Bureau of Quality and Technology Supervision. Because it is a flat-level unit, it does not belong to the management relationship. After the problem is reflected, it is difficult to obtain feedback from the other party. It is also difficult to follow up whether the issue has been resolved.

In the first five months of this year, the Suzhou Quality Supervision Department has transferred 57 batches of unqualified children online product inspection reports to other regions, accounting for 20% of the total unqualified online shopping. Quality inspection experts called for the introduction of targeted regulations and regulations as soon as possible, and mandatory provisions for cross-regional supervision of the entry, sampling, and punishment of e-commerce platform products.

Lag standard stumbling block originally protect children's swimming ring, because of poor product quality, actually became the child's drowning "culprit." The provincial quality supervision bureau has recently released the results of quality supervision, spot checks and risk monitoring of children's swimming pools and swimming pools. The failure rate has reached 50.8%, and substandard items have failed to meet the standards.

Fang Zhengjie, an engineer at the Xuzhou Quality Inspection Center responsible for the test, explained that this product defect can easily lead to the risk of cracks and leaks in swimming pools and swimming pools during use, leading to water leakage or child drowning.

In addition to the visible dangers of drowning, unqualified products also have invisible hazards - exceeding the standard of plasticizers. In this test, a total of 46 batches, 38.3% of the product plasticizer exceeds the standard reference value, and the maximum concentration exceeds the standard 34 times, which has become an “invisible killer” that seriously harms the health of children. Harmful substances can continuously dissolve out of water and migrate to infants and children, causing harm.

Since the damage is so great, why are they still producing and selling?

Before the 2008 “Sanlu Milk Powder Incident,” few people knew what melamine was because at the time, melamine was not within the test standards.” Wu Shen said that a large number of new children’s products are emerging and regulatory standards need to be improved. At present, the quality supervision department has two types of monitoring, one is to strictly enforce according to national standards, and spot checks are unqualified according to law; the other is that the “national standard” is blank or lagging behind. For the latter, the quality supervision department of our province adheres to "risk monitoring" based on international standards. After the inspection, the quality supervision department will inform the manufacturer of the test results to remind them of the rectification; it will also promptly send "safety tips" to consumers to promote the upgrading of product standards.

In fact, there are many such lagging or blank standards that need to be updated and filled, otherwise it will be a "stumbling block" for children's product safety.

Need to have many links with the quality of the interview, the quality supervision department cited such a case: in a Auchan supermarket in Yangzhou, there is no 3C certification stroller is impressively on sale.

“3C certification is a child stroller safety certification standard enforced by the state. Without this certification, it cannot be entered into supermarkets or shopping malls. In this case, the supermarket did not check, and it was a big loophole.” The responsible person said that many small Enterprises hold the "catch it and say" mentality, the production of poor quality baby carriages, supermarkets and other sales channels to check vacancies, poor quality products eventually into the hands of consumers, endanger children's personal safety.

Xu Minghua, director of the Department of Policy, Administrative and Administrative Licensing Services of the Suzhou Food and Drug Administration, said that quality supervision is not a quality supervision department can be in place supervision, quality supervision can only supervise the enterprise, sampling inspection does not mean that all products qualified. Because not every batch, every product can be detected. This requires production companies to have industry norms and conscience, sales channels, industrial and commercial sector supervision, after-sales supervision and other processes "can not be less."
