Ms. Zhang bought a new cot for her 4-year-old son. Who knows the baby had slept for more than a month and was noxiously smoked. The "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture", which was called by the industry as a new national standard for children's furniture, was formally implemented on August 1. At this point, children's furniture finally had its own "hard bars." In recent days, the reporter once again visited a number of furniture stores in the island city, and the old goods are still being sold, refitted, and the warning signs are hard to see...
â—Ž Case
New child bed smoked 4-year-old child nosebleeds
When the unit was divided into welfare rooms and renovations to buy new furniture, Ms. Zhang (a pseudonym) in Pingdu City bought a 4-year-old son's bed alone.
Unexpectedly, just after staying for more than a month, Ms. Zhang’s 4-year-old son felt uncomfortable, allergic to the skin, and had nosebleeds. “At first, I didn’t care too much about it. I had no time to go to the hospital to see her nosebleeds. I couldn’t check out any problems. Later I turned to a doctor. I was able to test my home’s formaldehyde immediately after the house was completely renovated. The formaldehyde content exceeded the standard by more than three times.†Mr. Zhou, a technical staff member of Qingdao Jihua Environmental Protection Co., Ltd., who has been engaged in the treatment of indoor air pollution for many years, said that the formaldehyde content in the air near the children’s beds was excessive.
â—ŽInvestigation
Island City children's furniture market still has many problems
Recently, some of the children’s furniture companies visited by the reporter found that some manufacturers have started dumping goods. After the implementation of the new standard, what is the current market situation for children's furniture? After two consecutive visits, the reporter found that although almost all manufacturers already know that the new national standard has been implemented, most businesses have already started to introduce new products that meet the standards. However, the “tid†items that are not up to the market are still being sold. The products that the merchant has modified are also not up to the standard, and then sold.
On August 4th, the reporter went to Haibo Home Huayang Road Store and gathered more than 10 brands of children's furniture stores on the first floor. As all the "brand goods", the updated products have occupied the mainstream, but there are still some old goods in sales. Four seasons of colorful sales staff said that the quality of their products is up to standard, and now only in accordance with the new standards to change some small details, like some products into rectangular corners. However, the reporter also saw products with right angles in the store. The sales staff said that this was the original product, and the remanufactured products were all bent corners.
The old goods were still being sold and refitted. The reporter did not see a set of warning signs for children's furniture when they visited. It seems that although the new standards for children's furniture have already been implemented, the market response is obviously "lagging behind".
The problems that still exist have not affected the high prices of children's furniture. In the more than ten children's furniture shops visited by reporters, children's furniture was found to be prohibitively expensive. A child bed costs more than 10,000 yuan, while the cheapest one requires nearly 3,000 yuan. High prices are generally solid wood furniture, but also the name of imported pine.
During the visit, the reporter also met with several parents who were choosing furniture. They had their own standards for children's furniture and most parents had heard about it. Mr. Liu said that the public can strictly enforce the implementation of the standard after the implementation of whether the purchase of furniture can be assured? In addition, there is concern that prices will increase.
City Furniture Association
Do not worry about price increases, need to increase supervision
The reporter then also visited the executive chairman and secretary-general of Qingdao Furniture Association, Shan Qingchuan. The president said that Qingdao currently has more than 800 furniture processing plants, but the factories that really only deal with children's furniture are also known to have 20 or 30 factories. Some factories are comprehensive, adult and children's. Furniture is produced. Due to gaps in processing techniques and other aspects, the increased standards will have a fatal blow to a number of children's furniture factories, and some companies may close down.
The single president felt that parents need not worry too much about price increases. "The increase in process requirements will increase the cost, and a slight increase may also be possible, but now the competition for children's furniture is fierce, and the possibility of collective price increases is very small."
Do not worry about rising prices, it touches on how much the new standard can play a role in regulating children's furniture. "Because children's furniture's particularity and environmental protection indicators can't be seen with simple eyes, there is a lot of difficulty in supervision." However, the single president said that only relying on the supervision and supervision departments of the quality supervision department will continue to strengthen the current market. The products that do not meet the standards can be found in the market and the standards can be implemented.
The president said that when parents purchase furniture, they ask the merchants for relevant certificates and explanatory materials to verify whether the products pass national standards. If problems arise in the future, they can also serve as the basis for rights protection.
