Pay attention to labels when buying clothes.

The pH value is over standard, formaldehyde content is over standard, and the banned aromatic amine dye is banned. These are the most common symptoms of "problem" clothing, but as consumers, it is difficult to make judgments based solely on the appearance of merchandise. A staff member of Chengdu quality and Technology Inspection Bureau told reporters that such problems as pH value and formaldehyde content are difficult to distinguish only by visual inspection and hand feeling. They must be sent to professional institutions for laboratory tests before reaching a conclusion. However, according to the relevant regulations, the content of these ingredients should be reflected on the label of clothing, and consumers can judge accordingly.

Since January 1st this year, 10 national standards of clothing have been formally implemented. The new national standard specifies that the pH value of direct contact with skin clothing must be between 4 and 7.5, and the pH value of clothing that does not directly contact the skin should be between 4 and 9. The national standard for Western-style clothes and trousers also stipulates that the formaldehyde content in each kilogram should not exceed 300 mg. However, reporters found in the survey, there are still many clothes labels on the market does not indicate the pH value and formaldehyde content, especially in the majority of adult clothing. For this, many people think that the label of clothing needs further specification and improvement, and hope that relevant departments can strengthen the work of this link, so that consumers can buy it clearly and buy it at ease.

Children's clothing should be light colored.

In fact, the industry and Commerce Department of our city has always attached great importance to the quality of clothing. In the second quarter of this year, the city commerce and Industry Bureau conducted spot checks on the quality of children's clothing in Jinniu District, Dujiangyan, Longquanyi, Qingbaijiang's shopping malls and professional markets. The results showed that the formaldehyde content and odor index of children's clothing were all qualified, but the index of children's wear and color fastness to rubbing were still not in line with national standards.

To this end, the commerce and Industry Department also specifically reminded consumers that when buying children's clothing, we must pay attention to the composition of the clothing logo, observe whether it clearly identifies the fabric, the composition of the lining, and the composition and content of the filler. At the same time, parents should also try to choose children's clothes that are light in color, small in print and small in pattern, because the decomposable aromatic amine and formaldehyde in some children's clothing mainly come from maintaining the brightly coloured and beautiful dyestuffs and auxiliaries in children's clothing, which may cause harm to the health of dolls. In addition, the staff of the Municipal Bureau of industry and Commerce said that whether they are adult clothing or children's clothing, they must clearly indicate factory names, factory sites, certificates and corresponding ingredients and contents according to regulations. When consumers buy clothes, it is very difficult to directly distinguish whether clothes are "toxic". But judging from these details whether the production and sale of products are standardized, whether they come from formal channels to reduce the corresponding risks, if consumers buy "problem" clothes, as long as there are corresponding credentials, they can complain to the industry and Commerce Department.

Citizen experience

Smell, buy, wash and wear again.

Of course, in addition to the recommendations of the business sector, many people also come to the hotline to share with you some experience in buying clothes, and these long-term accumulation and tips from life are also of reference value for clothing protection against poison and prevention.

Citizen Zhou Da Jie believes that no matter what clothes they buy, they should first be purchased through formal channels. Most of these clothes are tested and make people feel more insurance. "Of course, this is not the only way to look at it. Before you buy clothes, you should first smell it. If there is a smell of aromatic and kerosene, it will show that the quality of clothes may be a problem, and the purchase should be cautious."

In addition, the public Miss Liu believes that when buying clothes, especially children's clothing, we must pay attention to the instructions on the labels. Under normal circumstances, no labels are not bought, labels are not clearly marked, nor are they purchased. "Some clothes from irregular clothing factories have not been tested at all, and whether the pH value and formaldehyde are over standard, consumers do not know." In addition, she believes that even if you buy new clothes, you must wash them with water once you go home, so that you can reduce the harmful substances that may remain in your clothes. Secondly, you can also see if the clothes are fading, so that they can be returned in time.
