How Dare You Wear Such Underwear And Assault Clothing? CCTV Exposures Those Carcinogenic Functional Clothing

Today's clothes are not only of many styles, but also of functional clothing. The so-called functionality, such as moisture absorption, waterproofing, quick drying, and bacteria prevention, sounds like a good function for clothing. But not long ago, a market inspection bureau in Shanghai found that not all functional clothing has functions, and some so-called functional clothing is not as good as ordinary clothes.

[32% functional clothing is not qualified]

The Shanghai Market Supervision Bureau released the latest functional clothing quality spot check results, with an unqualified rate of 32%.

The spot checks involved 47 brands and 125 batches of functional clothing sold by 20 distribution companies.

After testing, 40 batches of functional clothing failed, of which 2 batches of functional clothing were detected carcinogens.

Xie Zhenghao, deputy director of the Department of consumer protection, Shanghai Municipal Bureau of market supervision, then these substandard products are mainly related to 2 categories. The first big category is that they do not meet the national mandatory standards, for example, it involves formaldehyde exceeding the standard. The second category is a function of its express function, which fails to achieve the desired effect.

It is quite different from the index it indicates and the value it actually measured.

Reporter analyzed the Consumer Association nearly three years to clothing related complaints, found that such products are popular complaints, is consumers most concerned about is also one of the highest complaints of commodity category.

Annual clothing shoes and hats complaints amount in between 40 thousand -6 10000 pieces.

Clothing related complaints increased in 2018 compared with 2017.

Functional clothing is the function that needs to be designed on clothes. Compared with ordinary clothing, the quality and the technical requirements of functional clothing are higher.

Most of these functions are achieved through functional fabrics.

Ren Hening, deputy director of the national textile products quality supervision and inspection center: in recent years, a large number of functional clothing have appeared in the market, and the prices of such garments are often higher than our ordinary clothes.

For example, our common moisture absorption and fast drying clothing, waterproof and breathable clothing, anti UV clothing, antibacterial clothing and so on.

However, there was also a phenomenon of uneven quality.

Some clothing is in our view, it is a general clothing, but also marked with functionality.

The price of substandard functional clothing is usually several thousand yuan.

The test was undertaken by the national textile product quality supervision and inspection center. At the scene of the test, the reporter saw the 40 batch of products that were found to be unqualified by spot checks.

Reporters statistics found that the 40 batches of substandard products from 21 brands.

Substandard products include maternity underwear, men's underwear, sweater, shirt, T-shirt, jacket, assault clothing and so on.

Reporters found that the prices of these clothes are in the thousands of yuan.

The reporter looked at the labels of the unqualified functional clothing, and saw that the functions included ironing, antibacterial, moisture absorption, sweat absorption, quick drying, waterproof and breathable, UV protection and so on.

Inspectors told reporters that as a functional garment, functions should certainly be guaranteed.

But at the same time, as the daily wear of the consumer clothing, safety is the first.

According to the GB, the "decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dye" that threatens human health is prohibited from being detected in clothing.

However, it was unexpected that the illegal clothing was detected in some functional clothing.

Ren hang, engineer of the national textile products quality supervision and inspection center, is an eluent containing decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amines.

Decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amines, which are not directly added, are usually decomposed by carcinogenic aromatic amines by the decomposition of azo dyes.

Inspectors told reporters that the soluble carcinogenic aromatic amine dye in this container was found in the men's jacket with the nominal brand POLO SPORT.

The reporter looked at the label of this functional clothing. The nominal agent in China is Shanghai Rui FA Garments Co., Ltd., which is named Shenzhen, Guangdong.

The inspector further explained that the decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dye found in this garment refers to the dyestuffs synthesized from carcinogenic aromatic amines, commonly known as "banned azo dyes".

This banned azo dye is prohibited from being detected in all textiles.

The national textile products quality supervision and Inspection Center Engineer Ren hang: in our national standard, the limits of decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes are prohibited.

This kind of decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amines are mainly used in dyes. The dyes will decompose carcinogenic aromatic amines in the normal wearing process. The carcinogenic aromatic amines will be absorbed by the skin after the skin is absorbed, and this will cause allergic, carcinogenic and teratogenic effects on the human body.

That is to say, wearing this jacket that is capable of decomposing carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes for a long time may cause changes in the structure and function of DNA in human cells and induce cell canceration.

Formaldehyde is a well-known carcinogen, but for clothing safety indicators, the toxicity and carcinogenicity of carcinogenic aromatic amines can be resolved much higher than formaldehyde.

Because formaldehyde has a pungent odor, easy to distinguish and dissolve in water, clothes bought by consumers usually remove some formaldehyde by water washing, but after decomposing carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes into clothing, its harm can not be eliminated.

The state textile product quality supervision and Inspection Center Engineer Ren hang: banned decomposable aromatic amine dye is unlikely to be washed away, so its harm is persistent. It may cause damage to the human body from the day it was bought.
