The person in charge also showed the reporter the paint product description and test report. Subsequently, the reporter took several paint samples from the workshop site, sent to the National Textile and Apparel Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center located in Guangzhou, did not detect any prohibited toxic aromatic amines.
