Before and after New Year's Day, there are not many people who choose children's furniture for children . Winter holidays are approaching, and the demand for decorating rooms for children is growing. However, the news of "the children's furniture failed the test" made them anxious. The palm pearls of the family should enjoy colorful, beautiful, healthy and safe childhood in the castle. However, more and more complex furniture brings fairy-tale life and more and more security risks.
Â
Â
It was found that since the first implementation of the "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture", China's first children's furniture standard, has been officially implemented since August 1, 2012, there have been occasions where children's furniture products "slowly caught up" with the requirements of the new standard. Is the problem that occurred in this spot check an individual phenomenon or a general phenomenon? "Guangsha Times" continued to visit.
Â
The quality and safety of children's furniture once again make consumers nervous
Â
In the fourth quarter of 2013, the national quality inspection department randomly checked 61 children's furniture companies, of which 33 batches of products were unqualified. It is understood that these products involve formaldehyde emissions, edges and tips, holes and gaps, stability tests, Push-pull parts strength test, warning signs and other items.
Â
The failure of more than half of the random inspection samples sounded the alarm for many people. Many consumers felt that the quality and safety of children's furniture made them nervous again. Is it an individual phenomenon or a general phenomenon? What should parents pay attention to when buying furniture for children?
Â
Children's furniture, formaldehyde content by mouth, consumers are doubtful
Â
In many well-known children's furniture exhibition areas, I learned from the sales staff that the common materials for children's beds and wardrobes are Finnish pine, birch, alder, etc., and use environmentally friendly water-based paint and varnish. Experts in the industry have reminded that it is necessary to check the formaldehyde and other test reports of the merchants when buying, and it is best to sign an environmental protection guarantee, but the sales staff stated without exception that they will "not sign", on the basis of "the brand has quality assurance, environmental protection is no problem" . When asked about the formaldehyde content, the sales staff will say: "Formaldehyde content has passed factory testing and irregular monitoring of the store", or "even if there is formaldehyde in the forest," so as to convince customers "will not be completely free of formaldehyde" . However, many consumers understand that the test report is only a report issued when certain batches of products are tested. When it comes to buying a home product, if the merchant just says "environmental protection", it is still not convincing. Therefore, Many consumers want to be able to sign an environmental guarantee at the time of purchase to eliminate their concerns.
Â
Benzene and heavy metal content are not clearly marked and stated
Â
Due to the color painting, benzene and heavy metals may be present in infant products. The survey shows that at a distance of 1 meter from the ground, the concentration of lead in the air is 16 times that of 1.5 meters. Children ’s height is within this range. Infants and young children often touch the wall furniture with their hands. Plus they suck their fingers and easily ingest A lot of lead. In addition, the absorption rate of lead by infants and young children is as high as 53%, about 5 times that of adults.
Â
However, regarding the content of heavy metals such as benzene and lead, sales staff generally do not actively mention it, and when asked about this information, most sales staff will say "furniture does not contain benzene and heavy metals." At the same time, most of the children's furniture currently on the market only indicate the content of formaldehyde, and there are almost no detection numbers for benzene and heavy metals. Some test reports only contain the harmful substance content of the board, but not the harmful substance content such as paint. This has to be worrying, once the furniture is put into the children's room, it will affect the health of the children.
Â
Protruding parts such as metal fittings at the corners can easily hurt children
Â
It is found that although the children's furniture products have made humanized design in place on the large scale, in some details, they still appear to be "inadequately handled." For example, the drawer handles of wardrobes of individual brands are protruding hard metal or solid wood materials. If they are not pushed back in time to close, it is easy to bump children. In addition, some metal door suctions under the inside of the wardrobe door are sharply protruding. If the wardrobe door is not closed in time, these two small black iron pieces are a potential danger for children who like to crawl around. When the author asked about the above details, the salesperson explained that "it is really dangerous to remove it". Such an answer is obviously not a responsible attitude.
Â
Children's furniture hidden dangers in the corner danger in accessories
Â
When visiting several children's furniture markets, I found many safe and thoughtful designs. For example, the 30-degree angle buffer setting of the wardrobe prevents children from being caught in their hands when closing the cabinet door; the push-pull parts such as drawers and keyboard trays in the product have anti-pull devices to prevent children from being accidentally pulled off and causing injuries; the cabinet is at a height from the ground Or the general glass parts are generally not used outside the area where the children's standing height is below 1600mm. The drawer handles of children's furniture are mostly made of soft plastic materials, which is very user-friendly protection for children who like to climb on the ground and are easily knocked down.
Â
Chamfers, guardrails, etc. are not safely handled
Â
The new national standard requires that the contactable dangerous outer corners of children's furniture at a height below 1600mm from the ground should be rounded, and the rounding radius should not be less than 10mm, or the rounding arc length should not be less than 15mm. However, the chamfering of some wardrobe doors is not in place, and the touch feels sharper.
Â
It was also found that some children's bed headboards are placed 5 cm apart, which obviously puts the child's hand in danger of getting stuck. Compared with the national standard "can not be too wide to lose protection, nor too narrow to trap limbs", this design should be adjusted.
