The news was announced, which aroused strong concern on the Internet.

Due to the high popularity of Jack Jones, the response of all parties to its manufacturers was particularly concerned after the news came out.

Yesterday afternoon, Tianfu Morning Post reporter telephoned fashion fashion (Tianjin) Limited, but the phone was never answered.

"Most of our jeans are from the mainland of China.

The guests are in normal operation.

"Every batch of products will be sampled for inspection, and no qualifying products can be listed."

The clerk said, "if the quality of the product is confirmed, the head office will notify the sales immediately."

Reporters found a business in the same brand store on Chun Xi road. The business here is also "as usual", and even the salesmen do not know the negative news that has been exposed on the Internet.

Labeling formaldehyde content is not true.

On the Internet, consumers speak very intensely.

"It's not safe to wear clothes. How can you rest assured?" "Jack Jones's brand is out of order, and I don't know who to trust."

"How expensive is it to sell?"

Although netizens' "condemnation" campaign is quite spectacular, the focus is focused on the single brand quality problem, but few people mention the problem of formaldehyde in clothing.

In fact, the national textile basic safety technical specification divides clothing products into three categories: A, B and C, which correspond to infant products, direct contact with human skin products and non direct contact with human skin products. The upper limit of formaldehyde content is 20mg/kg, 75mg/kg and 300mg/kg respectively.

At the same time, in

clothing

Labels should be marked on their labels to facilitate consumers to identify and purchase.

It is also known that since January 1, 2010, the national standard of 10 kinds of garments, such as suits and overcoats, has been formally implemented, and the formaldehyde content must be clearly marked on the clothing tag.

Reporters interviewed consumers randomly, and found that most people had no knowledge of this series of regulations. Only a few people knew the specific meaning of the three major classifications of A, B and C.

The most important thing is to look at different things in large numbers.

After the dress, the reporters found that the mainstream brand labels were marked with category letters, and some were accompanied by Chinese annotations.

The common feature of the two is that no formaldehyde content is shown on the tag.

Statement

Excessive formaldehyde in clothes is a serious consequence.

Yang Shuqiong, Secretary General of Sichuan garment industry association, explained that in order to make clothes more smooth, crease resistant and stronger colors, formaldehyde is needed in the process of making clothes.

It is necessary to add a variety of chemicals before garment forming, but if we do not pay attention to controlling the consumption of some chemical products in the process, we may cause formaldehyde content to exceed the standard.

It is reported that formaldehyde mainly stimulates skin and mucous membranes, and the direct contact with formaldehyde can cause allergic dermatitis and stains. Inhalation of high concentration of formaldehyde can induce bronchial asthma.

For you

New clothes should be washed and worn.

According to online data, there are four kinds of textiles that contain formaldehyde easily: one is ironing clothes, two is fashionable jeans, three is children's clothing, and four is the clothes stored in wood-based panel furniture. If the formaldehyde content in furniture and decoration is higher, it will directly pollute clothes in the wardrobe.

Therefore, before the new clothes are worn, the public should better rinse them with water, because formaldehyde is easier to dissolve in water, followed by adequate drying.
