Excessive formaldehyde emission, unreasonable structure of the product leads to safety hazards, the use of inferior paint and paint to spray the surface of the product... Children's furniture is often "quality door".
Recently, the author has inquired about the analysis of the supervision and inspection of children's furniture in all parts of the country in the past two years. According to incomplete statistics, in the first half of this year alone, there were more than 20 children's furniture manufacturers exposed by the quality supervision departments nationwide. According to the results of the sampling inspection of children's furniture released by the Guangdong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau recently, the pass rate of 62 batches of children's furniture is only 67.7%. There are two batches of children's furniture heavy metal exceeding the standard, and the formaldehyde emission of 3 batches of children's furniture exceeds the standard. The heavy metals in the furniture are mainly lead, cadmium, chromium, etc. Among them, the measured value of soluble lead in children's bedside table is over 40 times.
A problem that is often overlooked. Are there any heavy metals such as lead and cadmium exceeding the standard?
According to the survey, many parents mainly look at the color and style of furniture for children's furniture. Some parents also pay attention to whether the formaldehyde content of furniture exceeds the standard, but few parents notice the lead, cadmium, etc., which are more harmful to children. Heavy metal.
In the various furniture sales outlets in Yudaiqiao, merchants are able to provide qualified test reports for children's furniture. However, the salesperson said that the detection of toxic and hazardous substances in children's homes currently mainly measures the formaldehyde content, and few furniture manufacturers require the detection of heavy metal content in the inspection.
In the survey, the safety performance of many children's furniture is not optimistic. Some furniture's edges and corners are very prominent and sharp, lacking the necessary protective measures for children; some homes have automatic folding function, but there are few fixing screws, and they may be injured if they are squeezed hard.
A standard standard for adults who are not suitable for children
A person in charge of a local furniture manufacturing company in Chengdu told reporters that the domestic children's furniture production industry can only use adult furniture standard production because of the lack of special production standards. “Children's furniture produced according to adult furniture standards may not be suitable for children in terms of safety performance and control of toxic and hazardous substancesâ€, the person in charge said that, for example, the formaldehyde content in furniture can meet national standards, but the tolerance of adults and children is different. No effect on the adult body does not mean that there is no harm to the child's body.
The person in charge revealed that the pass rate of children's furniture inspections in recent years is not high, the main reason is "because most manufacturers focus on the style and color of the products, they just want to attract the attention of the children in the first time. Quality issues, especially product safety, are not taken seriously."
Other manufacturers are also expressing their own confusion. The country does not have special standards, and manufacturers do not know how to produce safe and environmentally friendly children's furniture. "We call on the state to introduce special production standards for children's furniture as soon as possible. This is the only way to solve the existing problems."
The professor of Huaxi Hospital said in an interview that if the content of some volatile toxic substances such as formaldehyde and benzene in children's furniture exceeds the standard, it will cause indoor air pollution, and the children's respiratory tract will be seriously damaged, causing them to suffer from bronchitis. , bronchitis and other respiratory diseases.
Wood furniture will produce a lot of high-toxic substances in the production process, and the heavy metal content of inferior paints will be higher. At a distance of 1 m from the ground, the lead concentration in the air is 16 times that at 1.5 m, and the height of the child is just in this range.
Infants and young children often touch the furniture directly with their hands. It is easy to ingest a large amount of lead when sucking their fingers, and the absorption rate of lead by infants and young children is very high, about 5 times that of adults. When lead enters the body, it can damage the nervous system, digestive system and blood system. Lead poisoning can also seriously damage the liver. More seriously, lead entering the human body is difficult to be discharged.
10 kinds of substances such as formaldehyde and soluble heavy metals should be clearly limited
Li Longping, an expert from Chengdu Quality Inspection Institute, attended the formulation of the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture on behalf of the Municipal Quality Inspection Institute this month. This standard is the country's first national mandatory standard for children's furniture. It is currently in the final revision period and is expected to be finalized and released for implementation next year.
According to experts from the Chengdu Quality Inspection Institute, the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture made it clear for the first time that children's furniture should be suitable for children aged 3-14 years. The standard includes nine parts including toxic and hazardous substances and safety warning signs.
According to experts, in addition to the detailed definition of the sharp corners, protruding parts, holes, gap size and stability of children's furniture, there are strict restrictions on the control of toxic and hazardous substances. The toxic and hazardous substances are mainly limited to 10 kinds of formaldehyde and soluble heavy metals, which are similar to the related requirements of children's toys. In addition, the standard also puts forward specific requirements for some soft furniture dyes and PH values.
