Beijing Consumers Association said that online shopping for baby equipment failed to pass the test 15%

The Beijing Consumers Association recently released a comparison test on online shopping for baby and children's wear. The results showed that 9 of the 60 samples did not meet the national standard requirements, and the unqualified rate reached 15%. In addition, there were 18 sample product identifiers. The quality of Baby Clothes sold on well-known online shopping platforms is generally good, but individual websites lack supervision on goods.

Product identification is the content marked on the product or packaging, the content of which should have the name and address of the manufacturer, product name, product type or specification, fiber composition and content, maintenance methods, product standards implemented, safety categories, use and Storage precautions. The durability label should be used for the three types of specifications or specifications, fiber composition and content, and maintenance methods.

In this comparative test, there were 18 kinds of sample product identification defects, mainly in the aspects of non-standard maintenance methods, missing items, inconsistent use of different forms, and no labeling of durability labels.

Fiber content is an important indicator of the quality of the fabric of the product. It is the key to consumers' purchase of clothing products and an important factor in determining the value of clothing. If the measured fiber content of the garment does not match the express, it will be misleading to consumers. After testing, the fiber content of 2 of the 60 samples did not match the indicated

The PH value is a safety indicator for textiles and an indicator of the pH of textile fabrics. Since human skin is weakly acidic, when the pH of the textile is too different from the human skin, it will destroy the acid-base balance of the skin, causing the skin to be easily attacked by other bacteria. After testing, there are 3 samples whose pH value exceeds the safe range.

In addition, the color fastness of the four samples did not meet the national standards. The color fastness is mainly to check the adhesion fastness of the dye on the fiber. During the wearing process, the pigment falls off and is transferred to the skin to harm the human body or contaminate other textiles, which will affect the health and beauty of the consumer.

On the formaldehyde index which causes harm to the human body, only one sample of formaldehyde exceeded the standard after testing. In the comparison test of the rope and the drawstring, there is also one sample which does not meet the national standard.

The sewing sewing strength such as splitting and seaming performance is used to evaluate the degree of slippage of the yarn after the joint is subjected to external force during wearing or use, and is the main indicator for evaluating the durability of the woven garment product. The failure of the tearing strength will not only affect the aesthetics of the garment, but also seriously affect the service life of the garment. In this comparison test, one of the samples had poorer test results.

It is understood that this comparative test was randomly purchased by the staff of the Beijing Consumers Association as a consumer through the online shopping platform, involving Tmall, Jingdong Mall, Suning Tesco, Dangdang, Vipshop, Gome Online, Poly 60 kinds of children's clothing samples sold by Meiyou and other websites range from 68 yuan to 478 yuan.

Beijing Consumers Association reminds consumers to pay attention to the instructions for using the product (ie product identification) when purchasing baby clothes, because product identification is a tool to convey information about the performance, quality and usage of the product to consumers. Consumers should try not to buy clothing without a logo.

In addition, when consumers choose children's clothing, it is recommended to purchase cotton and other breathable products. The fabric should be light and soft. If the product has a pungent odor, be careful when purchasing.

Beijing Consumers Association said that consumers should keep their shopping vouchers when purchasing baby clothes, so that they can effectively protect their legitimate rights and interests after quality problems.
