Consumers who are addicted to overseas shopping, please note that from adult clothing to brand children's clothing, to toys and toothbrushes, many foreign brands hide pits!
Shanghai Customs recently released the quality and safety inspection of import and export commodities in 2021. At the same time, it also released the relevant unqualified cases found in the quality and safety inspection of import and export commodities. The details are as follows:
cases I and II: unqualified pH value and color fastness of adult and children's clothing
During the laboratory test of several batches of brand brandy Melville clothing imported from Italy, Shanghai Customs successively detected pH value, color fastness to water and color fastness to perspiration which did not meet the requirements of gb184012010 national basic technical code for safety of textile products, and ordered the enterprise to return / destroy it.
During the laboratory test of several batches of French imported Petit bateau brand baby clothing by Shanghai Customs, the pH value, color fastness and other items were found to be unqualified and ordered to be returned / destroyed.
risk analysis : clothing products with unqualified pH value may damage the pH of human skin and cause discomfort, especially for infants and people with sensitive skin, which is easy to cause skin itching and other allergic symptoms.
Color fastness is one of the main indexes to judge the quality of textiles and clothing, which reflects the durability of clothing color. If such unqualified textiles are directly rubbed with human skin or in contact with sweat stains, the dyes will be transferred to the skin under the action of sweat, which will not only cause the shedding and discoloration of clothing fabrics, affect the beauty and wearing applicability, but also become the inducing factor of human diseases and cause harm to human body under the biological catalysis of bacteria.
case 3: nickel content in tableware exceeds the standard
Shanghai Customs detected 50.4mg/kg nickel in spoon and 54.8mg/kg nickel in cup during laboratory test of "Michael Aram" brand combination tableware produced in India, which did not comply with gb4806 9-2016 national food safety standard metal materials and products for food contact requires that the nickel content shall not be greater than 0.5 mg / kg, which is determined to be unqualified and ordered to be destroyed by the enterprise.
risk analysis : the content of heavy metals in food contact products is a serious quality and safety problem. Contact with nickel products will cause skin allergy. Nickel will migrate to food through tableware and then enter the human body. Excessive intake of nickel may cause lung, liver and brain damage and seriously affect human health.
case 4: the content of plasticizer in toys exceeds the standard
During the laboratory test of a batch of products of Coriolis power color sand Engineering Series baking talent suit produced in Mexico, Shanghai Customs detected that the DBP in the component color cardboard (tray) was 0.295%, If it does not meet the requirements in GB 6675.4-2014 safety of toys Part 4: migration of specific elements that the total content of three plasticizers (DBP + BBP + DEHP, phthalate) of plasticizing materials in toy materials and parts shall not be greater than 0.1%, it is judged as unqualified and ordered to be destroyed by the enterprise.
risk analysis : research shows that plasticizers will have an impact on the development of endocrine and reproductive system of infants and young children. If toys with excessive plasticizer are in contact with young children for a long time, it will be harmful to their health and development.
Phthalate is a widely used plasticizer, which may harm the reproductive organs of male infants, affect the sexual development of children, and even cause cancer of reproductive system.
When toys containing phthalates are imported by children, the dissolution of phthalates will exceed the safe level, endanger children's liver and kidney, and may also cause children's precocious puberty, becoming an invisible killer in the growth of infants and young children.
case 5: several famous brands of imported toothbrushes are unqualified

risk analysis : toothbrushes with unqualified monofilament bending recovery rate usually have poor flexibility and hard bristles. The long-term use of such a toothbrush will cause great wear and tear to the teeth, resulting in red, swollen and bleeding gums. In serious cases, there will be periodontitis, tooth loss and other problems.
The reason why the brushing is unqualified is that the process of toothbrush production is not standardized, resulting in incomplete grinding of the top contour of the bristles. Long term use of such a toothbrush will cause great wear and tear to the teeth, resulting in red and swollen gums and bleeding. In serious cases, there will be periodontitis, tooth loss and other problems.
cases 6 and 7: imported rubber tires and gas stoves without 3C logo
In the process of inspection of pneumatic rubber tires for Michelin motorcycles produced in United States, Shanghai customs found that although the batch of tires held the compulsory certification certificate, the tire body was not marked with CCC, and the entry verification was unqualified, so they were destroyed.
During the inspection of Gaggenau gas stoves imported from France and Miele gas stoves imported from Germany by Shanghai Customs, the above products were found to be 3C compulsory certification products, and foreign manufacturers did not carry out compulsory product certification, without 3C compulsory certification certificate and 3C logo; If the products are not judged as energy-efficient products, have no energy-efficient labels, and fail to pass the entry verification, the enterprise shall be ordered to return / destroy them.
risk analysis : China Compulsory Certification (hereinafter referred to as "CCC") mainly involves products subject to national safety certification. It is a basic method widely used internationally to protect consumers' rights and interests and safeguard consumers' personal and property safety. Through the entry verification of imported CCC products, Shanghai Customs ensures the safety of imported products and eliminates the import of problematic products that do not meet China's mandatory marks.
case 8: unqualified electromagnetic compatibility project of electric steamer

risk analysis : the disturbance voltage of the power terminal is unqualified, which is generally manifested in the electromagnetic conduction disturbance transmitted along the power line and signal line, which affects the normal operation of other electronic equipment being used in the same power grid near the product and causes hidden safety hazards to users.
case 9: excessive nickel release from simulated jewelry
During the spot check of commodities outside the catalogue in 2021, Shanghai Customs conducted laboratory test on a batch of St. John brand base metal Earrings imported from United States, and the nickel release of its gold metal Earrings was 39.1 μ G / (cm2 · week), exceeding 0.2 of the limit requirement μ G / (cm2 · week), the release of nickel exceeded the standard by nearly 200 times; The nickel release of gold metal ornaments was measured at 30.9 μ G / (cm2 · week), exceeding 0.5 of the limit requirement μ G / (cm2 · week), the release of nickel exceeded the standard by nearly 60 times. If it is determined to be unqualified, the enterprise shall be ordered to return it.
