Export Of American Children'S Clothing Lead Content Exceeding Standard Chemical Safety Risk

Recently, the textile inspection center of the Ningbo inspection and Quarantine Bureau returned a shipment from the United States.

Printed ribbon for children's wear

The reason for return is checked.

It has been tested that the lead in the printing of the products is as high as 1500 mg / kg, exceeding the standard nearly 17 times, far exceeding the total lead requirement of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on consumer goods.

Chemical safety risk

This directly led to the return of the products.

This is a typical case of unqualified textile chemical safety (lead content exceeding standard).

According to analysis, lead is a cheap and efficient printing colorant. It is easy to combine with fiber and has good fixation effect.

Lead is the first among many "culprits" endangering human health and intelligence.

CPSC has strict limits on total lead, requiring that the limit of lead in the coating is 90 mg / kg.

There are three main reasons for the existence of chemical safety hazards in textile products: first, some textile manufacturers do not have strong sense of risk, blindly rely on raw materials supplied by raw materials suppliers, and fail to detect the lead in raw materials in time. Two, there is a blind spot in the export market regulations, and there are regulatory blind spots. Three, some enterprises are using cheaper prices and better fixing effect to reduce costs.

In order to enhance the competitiveness of export commodities.

In view of the above situation, the inspection and quarantine department suggested the textile production enterprises: first, we should conscientiously study the regulations of the market countries; two, we should focus on the strict control of quality and safety in the selection of raw materials and product design, and reduce the risk of product export.

Small and medium-sized enterprises with relatively poor self-examination and self control ability should take the initiative to contact the inspection and quarantine departments, use social resources to achieve source checks, and ensure the quality and safety of export products.
