Reporter unannounced visit to children's furniture market
On May 26, the reporter went to Beijing Red Star Meikailong Chaoyang Road store "Songbao Kingdom" children's furniture store, looking for all the furniture did not see the label of harmful substances. After hearing the reporter's doubts, the salesperson immediately said that his "product is 100% environmentally friendly." "Our test reports were submitted to the store for review, and we had to apply in advance." But the reporter did not finally see the test report she said. Later, the reporter found that there were also many design flaws in his furniture: the keyboard on the keyboard under the computer desk, the sharp corners of the four corners, the edge of the bookshelf next to it is also very sharp. When the reporter heard that he had doubts about his safety, the salesman immediately explained: "The children's activity areas are generally on the table, and they will not be picked up here."
Subsequently, the reporter came to the North Fourth Ring store of the Real Home. At the request of the reporter, the salesperson showed the test report. However, most of them are about the detection of formaldehyde content in furniture sheets, and there is no test report on whether paints, adhesives, etc. contain formaldehyde, and no other common harmful substances such as heavy metals have been described. After the reporter raised the question, the salesperson was mostly vague and claimed that "the product is definitely no problem." In some small furniture stores, the safety risks of children's furniture are more prominent. For the reporter's concerns, many businesses have expressed an impatient attitude, and are alert to the promise that they are "safe", but rarely get a formal test report.
Artificial panels and painted paint are the hardest hit areas
According to the "General Technical Conditions for Wood Furniture" promulgated jointly by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Standardization Administration, the harmful substances in the furniture must be strictly controlled within the limit, and the products must pass the test before they can be listed. In the investigation, the reporter found that most enterprises are not standardized on the detection and labeling of harmful substances, and consumers cannot obtain detailed information, which in turn leads to some non-standard enterprises to fish in troubled waters.
Luo Wei, director of the Beijing Furniture Quality Inspection Station, told the reporter: "Formaldehyde may be present in various artificial boards, paints and adhesives." Children are more sensitive to formaldehyde. Long-term inhalation can cause symptoms such as cough, dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting, difficulty breathing, and cancer risk. Zhu Changling, chairman of the China Furniture Association, said that the bright colors are the main features of children's furniture products in the domestic market. However, if the bright color paint is unqualified, it will become the main habitat for heavy metals such as lead, chromium, cadmium and mercury. In the event of heavy metal poisoning, children may experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, headache, and difficulty breathing.
Luo Wei said that China's first national standard for children's furniture, "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture," is expected to be implemented in August this year. At present, children's furniture in China still share standards with adults. Children's homes have a lot of specialities and are often prone to some hidden dangers. In fact, there are precedents in foreign countries: The United States has long introduced a special standard for children's furniture, which specifically limits the lead content of paints and coatings in furniture. There are detailed mandatory requirements for the design details of the guardrail height of the children's bed and furniture fall prevention. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan also has strict regulations on the shape and function of children's furniture.
How to buy children's furniture
What should I pay attention to when purchasing children's furniture? The experts gave a few tricks for the parents.
Check the test report and write the hazardous materials into the contract. "Qualified products must have test reports issued by the national authorities, and they can take the initiative to ask the merchants when purchasing. If they refuse to produce, they are likely to have problems." Luo Wei said that you can ask for the formaldehyde in the furniture and the contract. Information such as the content of heavy metals, once the problem is discovered after purchase, you can be held accountable.
If the color is too bright and the test report is not available, it is best to buy it carefully to avoid heavy metals in the paint.
Careful purchases with design flaws. Luo Wei suggested that children's furniture such as desks, lockers, bedside tables, etc. should be selected. The corners should be rounded, and the holes and gaps should not be allowed to reach the children's fingers. If the cabinets are closed, it is easy to choose the doors. Opened, so as not to enter the child, it can not be opened, causing suffocation; children's furniture should try not to use metal products, glass products, if the furniture contains these materials, then take protective measures.
