New reaction: Some furniture manufacturers are anxious to sell second-hand goods at a discount
The new national standard for children ’s furniture will be implemented in August. Is the furniture market ready? The reporter visited many stores selling children ’s furniture yesterday and found that the standard implementation of formal furniture stores is good, but the situation of some small furniture retail stores is worrying.
In a furniture supermarket, most of the well-known brand children's furniture sold take into account the safety of children. Most of the bed cabinets use rounded corners. The bed heads are mostly environmentally-friendly, and the wood color is mostly used.
But in the nearby small furniture retail market, children's furniture produced by unknown small manufacturers is worrying. In one of the furniture stores, the beds and desks sold for children are made rough, the smell is relatively pungent, and there are no various quality inspection certificates. The owner of the furniture store admits that although the quality of these furniture is not as good as that of branded furniture, there are many parents who purchase because of the low price and good quality.
However, some small furniture retailers said that the new national standard will make it hard to sell the original furniture. It can only be sold at a discount before August 1.
New reminder: Not up to standard furniture or may affect children's health
"The harmful substances produced by furniture are mainly free formaldehyde, benzene and urushiol. Formaldehyde is mainly derived from the toxic solvents of artificial board adhesives and paints and other paints." According to physicians, foreign studies have shown that formaldehyde is harmful to human eyes and breathing. The system has a strong stimulating effect and is a potential threat to cancer, fetal malformations and infertility in women.
The test results of the CDC also show that because children ’s rooms often have combined wardrobes , bookcases, etc., and some children ’s suites are also equipped with toy racks. In addition, children ’s rooms have high frequency of air conditioning and less window openings. Children ’s rooms often become The room with the worst air quality in the family.
The staff of the Environmental Testing Department of the Center for Disease Control also reminded parents that when buying children's furniture, do not choose products that are "missable" and may choose healthy furniture suitable for children according to the new national standard. The newly bought furniture should have a period of vacancy, and let the harmful gas fully evaporate under the condition of ventilation. Ensure that the air quality of the children's room is qualified. Citizens with conditions can ask the professional indoor environmental monitoring department to test the air quality of the room before moving in.
