Some people say that shoes can protect the feet from injury; Some people say that shoes can reflect a person's taste and connotation; Some people say that shoes are a stopping navigation .....

Regardless of the reason, in the highly developed era of human civilization, shoes have become a necessity for every member of society.

The colorful and various materials of shoes that babies wear as they land, babble and learn to walk, and constantly change, seem to be a symbol of growth.

But recently, there has been a lot of bad news about children's shoes

Many places such as Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Shenyang have found that the majority of children's shoes fail the inspection, especially those purchased online, with various items exceeding the standard, which is somewhat shocking!

Let's take a look at the data from Shanghai together. In June of this year, in the safety performance survey of children's products in CCTV's "Weekly Quality Report", Shanghai conducted spot checks on 7 types of children's products in the circulation field. The overall pass rate of this spot check (including online and physical stores) was 55%, of which 18 products were unqualified and 14 were seriously unqualified.

The qualification rate of children's shoes sold online is only 40%!Yes, you read correctly, only 40%!Children's shoes from Tmall, JD.com, and No.1 store are all on the list!

And what about physical stores? Relatively better, but the pass rate is only 60%.

If the wear resistance is slightly poor, I think most parents wouldn't be so upset. The key is that both formaldehyde and phthalates severely exceed the standard. Just thinking that the shoes worn on children's feet every day contain excessive carcinogenic substances! I can't help but want to curse. What's even sadder is that these are all popular nowadays, maybe even in your shoe cabinet!

Perhaps some broad-minded people still question: Is it necessary to generalize based on a single test result?

Let's first review the testing in previous years: the pass rate of children's shoes testing was relatively good from 2011 to 2013, and there were fluctuations from 2014 to 2015, but the situation was also optimistic.

The significant decline this year is mainly due to:

On January 1st, 2016,The new national standard GD30585-2014 "Technical Specification for Safety of Children's Shoes" has been officially implemented, which is the mandatory standard for children's shoe products in China.

And this Shanghai supervision spot check is based on the mandatory national standard for children's shoe products.

Compared to the old standard, the new national standard emphasizes the importance of children's shoesPhysical machine security performanceand*MaterialTwo aspects of security, not only forStrict requirements for small accessories on shoesAnd alsoSpeaking of effectiveness and high requirements, moreClear regulations on the odor of children's shoesAmong themPlasticizer phthalates*appearIn the footwear product standards, * is the same as the EU and also has the same requirements as the standards of other industries such as toys in China.

This inspection includes attachment tensile strength test, integration testMultiple testing items including formaldehyde and phthalate ester substance testing.

Let's take a detailed look at the testing of formaldehyde and phthalates together.

The detection methods for formaldehyde and phthalates are the same,Cut the sample into small pieces of 5 * 5mm, add different reagents according to the different detection substances, then shake the solution thoroughly, filter and add the color reagent. Analyze the content of harmful substances in the sample based on the color development of the solution.

The result after Zui was surprising!!!

The formaldehyde content in the lining of Mimi Peace girls' leather shoes from Ningbo Taiping Bird Fashion Men's Clothing Co., Ltd., extracted from Baodaxiang Youth and Children's Shopping (Group), is 477 milligrams per kilogram, which is 5.9 times the standard of 75 milligrams per kilogram!

In addition to exceeding the formaldehyde content limit, the phthalates in the "FILA KIDS" children's comprehensive training shoes produced by Feile Sports Co., Ltd. extracted from Baodaxiang reached 1.5%, exceeding the national standard requirement of no more than 0.1% by 15 times!

And the phthalates in the Combi functional leisure boots extracted from Shanghai New World Co., Ltd. are also seriously unqualified.

Hundreds of shoes have also discovered such incredible things. It's not that we're being sentimental. These chemicals have long been proven to cause upper respiratory and digestive system diseases, allergies, and even cancer in children. Moreover, they are the cause of leukemia. Moreover, exceeding the standard has led to such a situation. What is the conscience of the industry?

Could it be that everyone's high enthusiasm for infant and toddler products has triggered illegal tactics by unscrupulous vendors? Is it bullying every household not to equip a gas chromatograph?

The above detection methods are not home travel methods. butAs the saying goes, 'children are our future'. For every Chinese family, the safety analysis and testing of infant and toddler products is a serious matter!

Please refer to the following for the specific black list of children's shoes:

The results are from Shanghai*

Looking at the long list above, do you feel your heart suddenly cool .....

Fortunately, we still have a batch of Xiaohongbang:

The results are from Shanghai*

In fact, overall, the standards have become stricter this year, so the pass rate has also relatively decreased. Now that there are new safety standards, we hope that production companies can strictly implement them, and we also hope that quality inspection departments can increase the frequency of testing, so that those black brands have nowhere to hide and are eliminated by the market. Ultimately, we hope that children can wear safe shoes.
