The annual "1 June" International Children's Day has just passed. I believe that every parent who has bought a favorite gift for toys, clothing, stationery, etc. Nowadays, children become the center of every family. Parents will spare no effort to spend money for their children, buy the best products, and give them the happiest childhood. But everyone knows, the eyes of plush toys, the ropes of handsome hoodies, the pen cover of beautiful pens, etc. There are many details in the various children's products that are easy to hide hidden dangers. A little carelessness will affect the health of the children, even Serious safety accidents can occur in cases such as unqualified tables and chairs, scooters, and car seats .
Children's products cover all aspects of children's wear, living, use, and travel. Its safety is closely related to each child's health and family happiness. Next, we look at the results of the quality inspection of children's products and the recall of defects in children's products issued by the recent geological supervision departments.
First look at children's furniture:
According to the incomplete statistics of the reporter, from January to May this year, there were 9 children's furniture recalls in Jiangsu and Shandong provinces, including products such as cribs, children's high chairs, student desks, student chairs, bookcases and children's computer desks. .
In these recalled children's furniture, in addition to Kunshan Huada Wood Products Co., Ltd. recalled the Mengfuwa brand (MF908) crib, Qingdao Haoku Baby Products Co., Ltd. recalled some of the "嘻嘻酷" brand children's high chair, the rest The seven recalls are furniture for children's desk chairs and bookcases.
So, does our country have relevant national standards for children's furniture?
Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary general of the China Consumer Law Research Association, said: "When consumers buy children's furniture, they can search for 'general technical conditions for children's furniture'. This standard is also the national standard for children's furniture in our country. It is aimed at the furniture used by children from 3 to 14 years old, not only for the structural safety aspects such as sharp protrusions and gaps, but also for the safety label of the product . At the same time, it is on the main and auxiliary materials. The heavy metal content, or the release of toxic gases such as formaldehyde, also makes clear requirements. More importantly, this standard is a normative standard, it is versatile and mandatory, and if you do not implement it, you should be subject to Heavy punishment, or being eliminated by the market. I think this standard is very beneficial for the protection of children's consumer rights."
The reporter noted that among the seven recalled enterprises mentioned above, except for Xuzhou Jingfuyuan Furniture Co., Ltd., which sells its products through its e-commerce platform and distributors, the other six companies are only through its e-commerce platform. Selling these recalled products, including the flagship stores of these companies on large e-commerce platforms.
On May 27th, the official website of Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Bureau released the online platform to sell children's furniture (child high chair) quality sampling results, Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Bureau to Tmall Mall, No. 1 shop, Feiniu.com, Maternal and Child House, IKEA Home Online 39 batches of children's high chairs and children's furniture sold by the 5 network platforms of the mall were subjected to market inspection and quality inspection. After testing, 8 batches were unqualified, and the unqualified detection rate was 20.5%.
Then, will sales through the Internet bring some difficulties to consumers' future rights protection?
Chen Yinjiang said: "Although the network is developing very fast now, the products bought from e-commerce or from the network platform seem to be more prone to problems. Why do you say this? I think the first products sold in traditional shopping malls and furniture stores are Can be directly touched and visible, we can intuitively do some sorting and comparison. And from the purchase of goods on the network, you mainly rely on the text or picture description provided by the business to understand the performance of this product, so you The information you know is relatively limited. So some quality is not very good, or there are some problems with the non-conforming product, it is easy to mix it. And this furniture is heavy, the return is still very troublesome. Second, from Nowadays, in the way of supervision of our country, quality supervision and production, industrial and commercial management, and e-commerce is to build an online shop on the network platform. Its real products are actually delivered directly from the manufacturers through logistics. Then, in the field of circulation, it is actually a process of reducing supervision. This sales method will also give some untrustworthy
Moreover, the platform of the e-commerce platform itself should also assume some supervisory duties.
Chen Yinjiang: "First of all, when it chooses this business, it should have the threshold of entry. After entering the station, it should also carry out some supervision or management on him, for example, the strength of the manufacturer, this product. The actual situation, we must have an understanding, after the problem, we must also facilitate the communication and rights protection of consumers in a timely manner. If you can not provide some effective information of this business, you have to bear the corresponding responsibility."
Next, we focus on the topic of child car seats .
As children use cars to use car safety seat regulations and consumer safety awareness, the use of child car seats is increasing year by year, but the quality of imported child safety seats is uneven.
According to the data released by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, in 2016, the quality inspection department detected a total of 27 batches of unqualified imported child car seat products, involving 25,000 products. Among them, 7 batches of quality safety projects failed, totaling 2,698 units, involving unqualified items including combustion performance, corrosion resistance, and unsatisfactory dynamic tests. Other reasons for non-conformity include issues such as irregular product markings. It is understood that some imported children's car seat products in the dynamic test of the experimental dummy over-displacement phenomenon, which will cause the child in the actual use to be injured. Non-conforming products involve internationally renowned brands such as Porsche.
Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary general of the China Consumer Law Research Association, suggested that for consumers, the following aspects should be paid attention to when purchasing children's car seat products:
First, the purchase of child safety seats should consider the child's weight and age, the way the seat is fixed, and the product certification information should be read carefully when purchasing. From September 1, 2015, child safety seat products sold in the domestic market must pass CCC certification. Therefore, the product with the CCC certification mark should be selected at the time of purchase.
Second, the child's weight and age. Child safety seats sold on the market will be marked with the weight of the applicable child, and some will also be marked with the applicable age. The weight should be used as the main reference. The purchase price should be based on the child's weight. The age can be used as a reference.
Third, the way the seat is fixed. Domestic child safety seat installation methods are mainly divided into seat belt bundle installation and ISOFIX interface installation. Seat belt strapping seats are available for a variety of vehicles, and interface mounted seats can only be installed in vehicles with interfaces. When you purchase a seat, you can select the seat that is fixed according to whether the vehicle is equipped with an interface.
Fourth, material technology. Check that the safety buckle and seat belt are secure, that the plastic parts are smooth, and that the fabric is permeable. It is recommended to take the child to pick and let the child try it for himself, because comfort is also very important.
The China Consumers Association also recently released a consumer reminder, calling for scientific selection and proper use of child safety seats , especially reminding the "four major mistakes":
Misunderstanding 1: Going forward in front of the car
Children must face backwards before they are less than one year old and weigh less than 9 kilograms, because in the event of an accident, the hardest back in the child's body will better relieve the impact than other parts. If facing forward, the child's relatively heavy head will land first, and the underdeveloped spine will not protect the spinal cord well, posing a risk of paralysis or death. When the child is one year old and the weight reaches 9 kg or more, the two conditions must be met at the same time, so that the child can face the car in front.
Myth 2: I did not fix the pull-up belt on the corresponding anchor point of the car.
Some child safety seats are equipped with pull-up straps. In case of such a child seat, please be sure to fix the pull-up strap on the corresponding anchor point in the car. In the event of an accident, the pull-up strap can prevent the child seat. The role of the chair flipping. The location of the anchor points may vary. Generally, there are positions on the back of the car seat, the trunk, etc. Please read the car manual carefully to find the correct position. Finally, be sure to secure and tighten the pull-up strap as required by the child seat instructions.
Myth 3: The seat belt on children is too loose
After you have fastened your child's seat belt, check it again. If you can easily insert your finger into the gap between the child's seat belt and the child, it means that the seat belt is not fastened. If the child's seat belt is loose, it may be thrown out when the car collides, bumping into objects inside the car, or hitting other passengers, causing injury. So remember, the seat belt should be tight and strong, and never be too slack.
Misunderstanding 4: Do not read the instructions without looking at the logo
Some parents did not follow the instructions or signs when using the child seat, resulting in the seat not fixed or completely unconstrained. In the event of an accident, the child seat does not function accordingly. Therefore, please be sure to read the instruction manual carefully and operate the child seat in strict accordance with the instructions.
