Experts interviewed: Chief Representative of the Global Child Safety Organization China
In the opening school season, when parents are busy arranging a variety of school supplies for their children, the novel pens, erasers, pencil cases, and poor quality workbooks are likely to become 'invisible bombs' that endanger children's health.
According to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China, 50 production enterprises in Tianjin, Hebei, Zhejiang, Anhui and Hubei provinces (cities) recalled 59 batches of children's products. The official website of the Zhejiang Administration for Industry and Commerce notified 100 batches in its spot checks. Among the student's stationery products, there were 24 batches that were unqualified, and the detection rate of unqualified stationery in individual stationery stores around the school reached 16.7%.
The pencil has become a 'hard-hit area' and the unqualified detection rate is 40%. The main problem is that the stress and hardness of the core tip are unqualified. Under normal use conditions, the pencil tip is easily broken and is not durable. In addition, the gel pen exists Problems such as poor writing performance. The old product 'Chenguang' was detected with a design defect. There was no vent hole in the cap and no clips, etc. If the child inadvertently sucks the cap into the mouth, blocking the trachea may cause suffocation.
The quality of the workbook is also more serious. Recently, the AQSIQ recalled 30,000 copies of the workbook. The degree of decolorization of the paper cover does not meet the required standards. The paper's brightness is too high, which may irritate children's eyes and affect their vision.
Cui Minyan, chief representative of the Global Child Safety Organization China, said in an interview with a reporter from the “Life Times” that in order to protect children from such stationery, parents should be aware of 5 points when purchasing.
1. Look at trademarks. When purchasing stationery, you should pay attention to the labels and labels, for example, whether they are suitable for children; how to use the words “Executive standard GB”; paints, rubbers, correction fluids, etc., should be marked with 'environmental protection'. Non-toxic 'words; if there is a sharp tip due to functional requirements that are indispensable, warning instructions or safety precautions should be provided to prevent direct contact with the child.
2. Look at the shape and size. When purchasing a pen, first, check the cap. Try to choose a pen with a larger cap size. The length of the cap must not be less than the size of the AA battery; the top of the cap must have a vent hole and must be larger than 6.8 mm 2. Secondly, check the tail plug. See if the tail plug is firm and there are air passages. Finally, choose a pen that the child can hold, and try not to buy pens with unique shapes and toys, so as not to affect children’s learning.
3. Smell the smell. Don't buy stationery with fragrance or other special smells. Many correction fluids, erasers, etc. are sold on the market. They are full of rich scent or pungent odor. It is easy for children to have curiosity. In general, fragrance The more concentrated the more harmful ingredients such as flavor.
4. Look at the colors. Avoid buying overly-white paperwork, scratch paper, etc., which may contain a lot of fluorescent whitening agent, over-white color will also stimulate, damage children's vision.
5. Stationery is not a toy. Parents and teachers should educate children. Pens are used to write characters. They are used when you need to write, and you need to put them out when you don’t use them. Do not use pens as toys or tools to attack others, and do not develop bites. Habits. Because the paint on the pencil surface may contain lead, preservatives, mercury and arsenic, etc. There is a health hazard. ▲
