CPSC Recall Children'S Clothing Alarm For Chinese Enterprises
In March 25th, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) released five four batch of children's clothing recalls. The reason for the recall is that the jackets of these jackets and sweatshirts are at risk of strangling children. In April 7th, CPSC announced that it had imposed a fine on 14 companies selling children's coats with wind bands and / or collar.
As early as February 1996, CPSC released the guide for children's jacket and strip, designed to avoid the hood, belt and other child injuries, even strangling children. Data from CPSC showed that between January 1985 and January 1999, CPSC received 22 fatal reports and 48 injury reports for this reason.
To avoid this kind of accident, CPSC recommends that the hat and collar should not be tied to the jacket for children aged 2 to 12 years old. For children aged 2 to 16 years old, the full length of the waist belt and the belt on the hem should be less than 3 inches, and the middle of the band should be sewn on the garment so as to avoid the danger that the drawstring can be drawn from one side. CPSC also suggests that the ends of the straps should be fasten without rope buckles or knots.
In May 2006, the CPSC regulatory office announced that children's coats, such as girdle or collar, would be regarded as defective products because of the risk of injury to children, and urged all relevant companies in the United States to import, manufacture, distribute or sell children's coats in line with ASTM F1816 (safety code for tights for children's clothing) to prevent children from being injured or even killed by girdle injuries. It also points out that, according to the fifteenth section C of the federal dangerous goods act, a staff member of CPSC will recall the case once such a child's coat is found.
因此，盡管CPSC的指南不具有強(qiáng)制性，美國(guó)與此相關(guān)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)ASTM F1816-97《兒童上衣抽緊帶安全規(guī)范》也只是自愿標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，但事實(shí)上，只要CPSC發(fā)現(xiàn)兒童外衣的帽子、領(lǐng)子上有束帶就會(huì)發(fā)布召回，消費(fèi)者可據(jù)此將衣服退回獲取全額退款。另外，《消費(fèi)品安全法案》第15條b款要求消費(fèi)品制造商（進(jìn)口商）、分銷商和零售商一旦獲悉其所經(jīng)營(yíng)的產(chǎn)品存在安全隱患，應(yīng)立即報(bào)告CPSC。并就未報(bào)告者處以民事處罰。
Federal law requires manufacturers, distributors and retailers to report CPSC within 24 hours after obtaining such information. As the 14 companies did not report CPSC in time, there was a civil sanction against them. They had received a fine of up to $1 million 55 thousand and recall of the problem clothes, but refused to admit that they intended to break the law.
This is a special reminder to Chinese children's clothing exporters that if exporting garments to the United States are designed for their own exports, it is suggested that there should be no drawstring in the design. If necessary, the buttons, buttons and Velcro can be replaced. If the export is designed according to the foreign orders, the drawers in the foreign designs should be reminded that the buyer should pay attention to this problem so as to avoid losses.
特別是盡管CPSC采取的種種措施僅是針對(duì)美國(guó)進(jìn)口商、分銷商和零售商的，但無論是召回引起的退款賠付，還是CPSC的罰款都會(huì)使美方收益減少甚至虧損，都可能導(dǎo)致我國(guó)出口方回款困難或收入損失。另外，歐盟市場(chǎng)同樣存在類似安全要求，在此也提醒企業(yè)注意。
