The results of the special inspection of children's clothing products in Sichuan in the first quarter of 2010 released by the Sichuan Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau found that 50 batches of children's clothing products in 28 enterprises of Sichuan province were eligible for 31 batches, and the spot check rate was 62%. 14 enterprises produced 19 batches of products which had formaldehyde, pH value, fiber content and rubbing fastness and other items which did not meet the product standards.

It is understood that formaldehyde is a toxic substance, clothing enterprises must be in strict accordance with the standard, if the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard, children will cough and shortness of breath when they come into contact with it. Children with allergic constitution will also suffer from severe symptoms such as asthma.

The Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau is responsible for the detection of clothing fiber experts told reporters that because formaldehyde corrosion resistance is particularly strong, clothing in the resin finishing process should use formaldehyde.

Cotton textile is easy to wrinkle. The use of formaldehyde containing auxiliaries can improve the stiffness of cotton fabrics.

The bigger the pattern on clothing, the more formaldehyde it needs.

Although formaldehyde is a toxic material, it can be bought and priced in the market, so it will become the first choice for small manufacturers and illegal traders.

Experts advise parents not to buy children's wrinkle resistant clothing, try to choose small pattern children's clothing, and print on the pattern should not be very hard, and try not to buy bleached children's clothing.

Consumers can smell whether there is any pungent smell in children's clothing.

However, because the plastic packaging and business premises are generally large in size, the smell is sometimes difficult to identify, so it needs to be carefully identified at home.

In addition, formaldehyde is easily soluble in water. When new clothes are bought home, it is best to rinse them with water before drying them for more than three days.
