June 1 is coming, the environmental protection of children's furniture on the market has once again attracted people's attention. Parents want to provide a safe environment for their children to grow up, but what kind of children's furniture should they buy for their children? What kind of children's furniture has environmental protection performance? Parents do not fully understand these issues, and they are often led by shopping guides when buying.
Some businesses advocate solid wood environmental protection, some claim that colored furniture is beneficial to children ’s intellectual development, and some claim that light-colored furniture has less harmful substances such as heavy metals. These different claims are about to haunt parents.
The color depth has nothing to do with harmful substances
When the reporters visited the major furniture stores, they found that children's furniture brands are numerous, and the stores often set up a larger area as a children's furniture monopoly area. This shows that consumers attach great importance to children's furniture and gave birth to the rapid development of this industry.
In the famous brand stores such as Colorful Life, Dou Ai, and Fleisha, the reporter saw that many parents were choosing furniture for their children. "Some furniture is particularly bright, and it is not recommended that you buy it. The brighter the paint, the more the heavy metal content. You see, most of the children's furniture of our brand is softer, more environmentally safe," the salesperson of a brand store introduced. The parents nodded frequently, and a consumer immediately signed an order with the salesperson and purchased products with a total price of more than 8,000 yuan such as beds, desks, and chairs.
In another brand store, the reporter told the shopping guide: "Your home's children's furniture is too bright, is it not environmentally friendly?" The salesperson immediately said: "No, our furniture meets environmental protection requirements, and there are tests here. Report, do n’t believe it. â€She told reporters:“ Children ’s nature determines that they like bright colors such as red, yellow, and green. The use of colored furniture helps children ’s intellectual development. â€The reporter found that The test report only marked the formaldehyde content of the furniture, and did not mention whether the content of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium reached the standard.
The reporter found that many sales staff often introduce to consumers that colorful children's furniture must use heavy metals for color development, and brightly colored paints mostly contain lead. Therefore, when buying children's furniture, try to choose lighter-colored furniture.
In response to this statement, Zhang Bingbing, secretary general of the China Furniture Association, disagrees. She said that in fact, the color of the paint has nothing to do with harmful substances. The brighter the furniture, the more heavy metals it contains is wrong. The lighter color does not mean less harmful substances. As long as the paint contains heavy metals, it has nothing to do with the color. Therefore, for the heavy metal content of paint, the manufacturer should have a test report, and consumers should request to check when buying.
Solid wood furniture is not necessarily environmentally friendly
"Because parents are most concerned about children's health, environmental protection and safety are the first factors they consider when buying children's furniture, so the selling point of children's furniture is often not price, but environmental protection and safety." The head of the colorful life children's furniture brand told reporters Said.
"Our children's furniture is made of pine wood, there is no formaldehyde, and it is particularly environmentally friendly." This statement by the sales staff has been recognized by many consumers. It is often thought that solid wood furniture sheets are more environmentally friendly, so people can rest assured that they do not have to check the test report.
In this regard, Song Guangsheng, director of the National Indoor Environment and Indoor Environmental Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, said that if it is not natural all solid wood furniture, adhesives will also be used in the production, there will be a problem of formaldehyde emissions. In particular, the amount of solid wood veneer furniture adhesives is greater, so solid wood furniture does not necessarily mean that the environmental protection indicators meet the standard. In addition, solid wood furniture is usually painted, so it is necessary to pay attention to the heavy metal content of the paint.
The surface of the wood-based furniture is made of thin wood or grain paper, and the surface color is the color of the wood grain paper and other materials. Although it does not contain heavy metals, the furniture material is mostly wood-based board. Meet the standard.
According to Song Guangsheng, the environmental protection levels of the plates are as follows: medium density board, particle board, large core board, plywood, laminate, integrated wood, solid wood. He suggested that consumers, when buying children's furniture, should carefully check the furniture test report, both the plate test and the paint test. In addition, the full name of water-based paint is water-based wood paint, different from the concept of paint, in terms of environmental performance, it is indeed much more environmentally friendly. But even if the furniture is water-based paint, it is still recommended that consumers check the relevant test report when buying.
Some stores have not implemented the national standard
In August 2012, China's first mandatory national standard for children's furniture, "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture," was officially implemented. For the first time, it established an independent national standard that distinguishes adult furniture from furniture for children aged 3-14.
Today, the national standard for children's furniture has been implemented for nearly a year. Reporters have seen in well-known home stores such as Beijing Actual Home and Red Star Macalline that children's furniture of various brands have basically undergone product replacement. For example, some children's furniture seen by the reporter has vent holes in the wardrobe; some bed corners and cabinet corners have been changed from right angles to rounded corners; touching several children's furniture, no tips have been found that may accidentally harm children; Some desks and beds have very small gaps and wo n’t catch children ’s fingers.
"The store will screen the children's furniture brands that are settled in and select more well-known brands to enter the market, so we have implemented the national standard for children's furniture relatively well. In some markets, there will still be unqualified children's furniture sold and consumed. People should carefully discern when buying. "A person in charge of Shilihe Store in Beijing's actually home told reporters.
The national standard requires children's furniture to comply with mandatory regulations such as the limit of toxic and hazardous substances and the use of safety warning signs. Children's furniture products that do not meet the national standard on the market must be removed from the market. However, in Beijing's Longfeng House, Qilizhuang Building Materials Market and other stores, the reporter found that the national standard for children's furniture is not in place, and unqualified products are still being sold.
For example, according to the national standard, closed children's furniture must have "ventilation openings" that meet the specifications. This is to worry about the danger of children who enter the closed furniture such as wardrobes because of "hiding cats and cats". In a children's furniture store in Longfeng's home, the reporter saw that the children's wardrobes they were selling did not have "ventilation openings". "Our wardrobe is very healthy and environmentally friendly, in line with the requirements of the national standard, and can be used by children." Its sales staff vowed to reporters. When the reporter asked "Where is the ventilation opening of the wardrobe", she pointed to the slit of the wardrobe door and said, "Isn't this just the ventilation opening?"
