Studio host Jing Yidan:
Hello, viewers, welcome to watch "Focus Interview". If you have children, parents always want to give the best to him. In many people, children have their own independent rooms. Many parents are willing to spend money on the layout of children's rooms, and they are willing to spend a lot of time. I chose a piece of furniture that looked bright and beautiful in style and finally moved back home. The child is happy, everyone, satisfied. However, the reporter recently learned that some children's furniture will bring unexpected risks to children.
Commentary:
This is a set of children's furniture that looks beautiful and stylish, but since August 1, 2012, these furniture are unqualified products. Why? Note that here, the corners of the furniture are right angles, and in the newly implemented "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture": "The product should not have dangerous sharp edges and tips, and the edges and edges should be rounded or inverted. Angle treatment", this is a mandatory provision for the safety of children's furniture.
Parents:
There will be awkwardness, and it will not break.
Parents:
The angular corners are easy to hit, and if it is flat, it is definitely better.
Commentary:
It seems that the small change from "tip" to "circle" can indeed reduce the harm to children. The new national standard has been in operation for more than three months. What is the actual implementation situation? The reporter conducted an interview at the home store.
In a large furniture city in Beijing, the reporter saw that most of the brand children's furniture's cutting edge and angular parts have been rounded, but there are still some brands, some batches of products are not processed, look at this cabinet corner, and This stair corner, and these products are still in normal sales.
reporter:
I think it is dangerous here, here.
Children's furniture sales staff:
Yes, this place does have a bit.
reporter:
This place is a bit dangerous.
Children's furniture sales staff:
Yes, we also tell the truth, this is indeed unqualified.
Commentary:
The salesperson said that in order to clean up the inventory, there are indeed some unqualified products in the store. However, in a furniture store in Tianjin, it is also a substandard product, but the salesperson is justified.
Children's furniture sales staff:
We have been selling for 16 years, in Tianjin, no problem. Which child do you say, you don’t mean to touch it, no. No, no, no wrestling, no, it’s too normal for the child to fall from the bed.
Commentary:
Children's furniture is different from adult furniture and requires some special safety design. For example, the new national standard also requires that the cabinet-type closed furniture used by children should have a certain ventilation function. The vents should be fitted with a mesh or similar air permeability. Parts, this is to prevent children from hiding in the furniture and suffocating.
Song Guangsheng, Director of the National Indoor Environmental Quality Inspection Center:
In the small room where children can enter, there must be a hole in it. If the child is playing, he or she will go in and open the door. You can't suffocate the child inside, so you have to open the hole.
Commentary:
However, this is a matter of the child's life safety, and the actual implementation effect is still unsatisfactory.
reporter:
You must be old-fashioned, no vents?
Children's furniture sales staff:
When you open the door, the soil in the back must be sucked in. Listen to that. These people are free to think about it. You open the door. You said that the soil behind you is sucking in. Is it, what is there? significance!
Commentary:
In addition to the appearance safety, the environmental standards that consumers are most concerned about have also been clearly defined in the new national standard. The new standard imposes strict limits on ten kinds of toxic and hazardous substances such as formaldehyde and decomposable aromatic amines. Formaldehyde is a type of carcinogen recognized by the World Health Organization. Long-term inhalation of excessive formaldehyde can easily cause nasopharyngeal carcinoma, sinus cancer, and induce leukemia. If formaldehyde exceeds the standard, the harm to children is more serious than that of adults.
reporter:
What is it called?
Child:
Pan Jingxin.
reporter:
Pan Jingxin. How old?
Child:
3 and a half years old.
reporter:
3 years and a half.
Commentary:
Pan Jingxin, who is 3 and a half years old, has lived in the hospital for five months. The mask on his face and the needle on his arm are the things that accompany her every day. After several rounds of chemotherapy, Jing Xin’s long hair is It has become like this.
Jingnan patient mother:
At that time, when I heard the child got this disease, my heart was very sad. So little child got this disease.
Commentary:
Xiao Jingxin got acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The doctor judged the situation of Xiao Jingxin's family and thought that her incidence is very likely to be related to the air quality at home.
This is the room where Xiao Jingxin and her parents live together. Last year, Jingnan and the couple borrowed money and spent more than 700,000 to buy this second-hand house and re-renovated it. After adding new furniture, the family moved in. New houses and new furniture originally meant the beginning of a new life for the family. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingxin became ill in less than a year.
reporter:
What kind of things do you buy for your new furniture?
Patient mother Jing Nan:
A cabinet, a one, a bed, and a three-piece suit are all bought.
reporter:
They are all bought one piece.
Jing Nan:
Correct.
reporter:
At the time of buying this furniture, did the manufacturer give you a description of the quality of the product, or an environmental (certification)?
Jing Nan:
No. Did not show us.
Commentary:
Is the furniture in Xiaojingxin room environmentally friendly? The reporter commissioned a professional to do the test.
Gao Liang, Director of the Chemical Testing Office of the 24th Station of Tianjin Quality Supervision and Inspection:
This dark color solution is collected from the user's home. The light color solution is a solution close to the qualified line. In theory, the darker the solution color, the higher the formaldehyde content in the air. You see the final conclusion of the test before the test, the measured user's home air formaldehyde content is 0.38 milligrams per cubic meter. Our (indoor air) standard is 0.10 milligrams per cubic meter, which is 2.8 times higher than the standard.
Commentary:
So where does this excess formaldehyde come from?
Tianjin Furniture Industry Association Cao Jianyu:
One is formaldehyde in the decoration material, and the other is formaldehyde in the furniture.
Zou Wei, deputy director of the Children's Hematology Clinic of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Hematology Hospital:
In general, leukemia can not be leukemia at one time, and it is usually a double blow or multiple strikes. The child is in a bad environment for a long time, which will lead to an increase in the incidence of the child to some extent.
Commentary:
Excessive formaldehyde can induce leukemia, and Xiao Jingxin lives in an environment where formaldehyde exceeds the standard. Although it is impossible to judge the proportion of formaldehyde released from decoration materials and furniture from the data, one thing is certain, that is, the formaldehyde in the indoor air is mainly from decoration and furniture.
With the improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection, many ordinary people have chosen a simple decoration, which also reduces the possibility of pollution of decoration materials. However, whether the furniture meets environmental standards is difficult for consumers to judge with the naked eye. If consumers want to test the furniture, they must destroy the furniture. It is such a dilemma that some unscrupulous businesses have lost their money.
Song Guangsheng:
This piece of furniture pollution may come from such aspects. The first one is its material; the second furniture pollution problem also comes from the manufacturing process. If you don't pay attention to the process, it may also cause pollution.
Commentary:
Minimizing the release of harmful substances in furniture and eliminating the potential hidden dangers of children's health is an important part of the new national standard, which also puts higher demands on furniture manufacturers.
According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 60,000 furniture factories registered in the industry and commerce in the country. In addition, there are some small shop furniture factories in front and back shop, which also caused the furniture market to be mixed.
The reporter searched online for a manufacturer specializing in wholesale children's furniture for kindergartens. In the company's homepage, it was introduced as follows: "The company has strong technical strength and economic foundation, perfect management system, and the products are exported to the United States, Thailand, Russia, More than 30 countries and regions in the Middle East. "It seems that the grade of this furniture factory is not low, the reporter decided to go see what.
In a large courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, the reporter found the furniture factory. In the yard there is a warehouse with a room for gaming equipment and children's furniture. The reporter asked to look at the quality inspection report of the product on the grounds of buying a children's bed. I did not expect the attitude of the person in charge of the factory to be very calm.
Manufacturer responsible person:
There are no reports on this little thing.
reporter:
Why are there no test reports?
Manufacturer responsible person:
These things do not require home test reports.
reporter:
Is this the same for every factory?
Manufacturer responsible person:
Yes, it’s all like this.
reporter:
Is this also produced here like you?
Manufacturer responsible person:
Yes, it happens directly behind.
reporter:
Produced later.
Manufacturer responsible person:
Correct.
Commentary:
The responsible person then took us to the so-called production workshop. Some wood was placed in the workshop, and some people were carrying out simple assembly. The source of the material was reluctant to disclose it. The reporter observed that the compression plates they used were only a thin layer, one side and even the sides were not sealed, and many wood chips were clearly exposed outside.
Song Guangsheng:
It must be completely sealed before it can be controlled. This kind of thin sheet, its formaldehyde emission is also very high, and the actual pollution may often be these materials.
Commentary:
There is obviously a great environmental hazard in the production process like this, but the furniture assembled here has turned into a high-end goods.
Manufacturer responsible person:
We sell all kinds of high-end kindergartens, it is impossible to sell bad.
Commentary:
In September 2012, the National Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision Center issued a safety warning to remind the relevant departments of primary and secondary schools and kindergartens to check the structural safety and harmful substances of the furniture used by students. Experts suggest that when purchasing children's furniture, do not choose furniture that is too bright and pungent. At the same time, consumers should also protect their rights and interests with reference to the new standards for children's furniture.
Gao Xiuzhi, Secretary General of Tianjin Furniture Industry Association:
It is especially important to pay attention to the finished product inspection report of the product in this procurement. Because many stores nowadays, we also found that the test report presented is partial. For example, sheet metal, and then some parts and parts of the material of the test report, this from our industry has strict regulations, we should test the finished product inspection report after the product is shipped.
Jing Yidan:
Unqualified children's furniture looks beautiful, but it has a visible danger and no danger. The dangers that can be seen can be prevented, and the dangers that are not seen are more likely to cause harm to children and families. The new national standard for children's furniture has been in operation for some time, but we still see violations of regulations and even shoddy practices from time to time. In order for the regulations to be truly implemented, it is necessary to increase the intensity of investigations and increase the illegal costs of the unscrupulous. The Focus Interview column will continue to focus on children's product safety issues.
