Visit: Some merchants have no heavy metal test report

The reporter surveyed some home stores in Foshan in the past two days and found that although the new national standard has been implemented, many furniture brands are unable to provide test reports corresponding to the new national standard. Many children's furniture brands do not detect lead in their test reports. For heavy metals such as cadmium, chromium and mercury, some only tested 4 heavy metals and did not test 8 according to the new national standard.

"We are pure solid wood furniture, using water-based paint, no heavy metal, so no need to check." Foshan a home store, sales of solid wood furniture sales staff told reporters. Mr. Hu, the person in charge of a furniture company specializing in the production of children's furniture, said that the manufacturer claimed that the furniture does not contain heavy metals and is suspected of misleading consumers. Water-based paints may also contain heavy metals, which may come from the fillers used in the production of water-based paints. Mineral powder, commonly known as talcum powder.

Parents: Most valued formaldehyde content ignored heavy metal indicators

Recently, the reporter met several people who are watching children's furniture in the furniture city of Shunlian North District. They all said they did not know about the new national standard. In Dongguan, the reporter also found that many citizens are not very familiar with the new national standard.

Ms. Wu, a member of the public, said that in fact, the key to the implementation of the new national standard depends on whether it can be implemented and implemented, otherwise it does not make much sense to consumers. "We will definitely pay attention to the safety and environmental protection of children's furniture, but the most concerned about whether the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard." She said that as long as it is to buy furniture, it is necessary to first find out whether there is a certificate of environmental protection and whether it is qualified.

The reporter learned in the interview that although some parents will take the initiative to ask the manufacturer's quality inspection report to check the formaldehyde content of children's furniture. However, the content of heavy metals in furniture, whether it is furniture manufacturers or consumers, obviously lacks enough attention. According to industry insiders, in fact, the hazards of heavy metals such as antimony, arsenic, antimony, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury and selenium are no worse than formaldehyde. Excessive intake of arsenic and lead can cause poisoning. These heavy metals are widespread. In household items, including furniture, ceramics, colored fabrics, plastic products, etc.

Industry: The latent factors in the home are easy to cause child injury

"Before the introduction of the new national standard, children's furniture is implemented according to the standards of adult furniture. Basically, children are living in an environment preset by adults." Mr. Liu from Shunde furniture industry told reporters that children's furniture and adult furniture use the same quality. Standards are likely to cause the special requirements of children's furniture safety and environmental performance to be out of touch with the actual situation.

In fact, the eyes of adults in the eyes of a safe haven are not always safe for children. On June 26 this year, the “Child Injury Prevention Advocacy” report jointly released by the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Global Child Safety Organization showed that children’s injuries at home accounted for nearly half of the total, reaching 44.5%, far exceeding the children’s Damage to the outdoors. Relevant survey reports show that the details of the coffee table, the size of the closet, and the level of bed rest are all related to the safety of the child. The survey shows that more than 70% of parents do not regularly check the safety of household items, of which 7% Parents never check, and nearly 80% of parents are unclear about how to conduct safety checks on household items.
