Many parents pay attention to the color, fabric, style and model of clothes when buying clothes for their children, but often ignore its safety. At present, some baby underwear does contain a harmful substance called formaldehyde.
In order to protect children's health, China Consumers Association recently conducted a comparative test on 50 brands of children's knitted underwear imported from Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Shijiazhuang, Changzhou, Wuxi and other cities 18, as well as South Korea. The test sample basically includes the major brands sold in China's domestic market.
In addition to routine detection items, this comparative test also includes the detection of safety indicators such as formaldehyde, ph value and odor. It was found that the formaldehyde content of six samples was high.
Formaldehyde is a toxic chemical, and I think everyone is familiar with it. For example, if you go to the furniture city to see furniture, you will feel a little spicy when you touch it. This is formaldehyde. Formaldehyde in clothes is mainly due to the addition of some printing and dyeing auxiliaries containing formaldehyde in the dyeing and finishing process, which will produce some formaldehyde. For a long time, the formaldehyde index in clothes in China is really out of control, that is, there is no national standard to control how much formaldehyde should be limited. Every mother wants her children to wear beautiful clothes, and every mother wants her children to grow up healthily.
To sum up, I suggest that when buying children's underwear, it is best to go to a regular store and buy products with logos and complete instructions. Color printed underwear uses many harmful ingredients such as dye auxiliaries. Therefore, white and light-colored clothes should be the baby's first choice. Formaldehyde is volatile and soluble in water, which can be effectively removed in the washing process. After the baby's underwear is bought, it should be fully rinsed with water. After soaking for half an hour, all or most of the floating colors can be washed away by washing. ?
