On August 1, 2012, China's first mandatory national standard for children's furniture, "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture," was officially implemented. This standard fills in the blanks of general technical requirements for children's furniture at home and abroad, and clarifies the safety structure, limit of hazardous substances, warning signs and other aspects of children's furniture. However, the implementation of the new national standard for more than a year, while the children's furniture market is booming, but its development is immature, children's furniture sends dangerous signals to children everywhere, directly affecting the healthy growth of children. Many parents also have the misconception that buying furniture for children is no different from buying adult furniture.

　　Recently, the County Bureau of Industry and Commerce conducted a survey of stores selling children's furniture in the urban area, and found that there are three main problems: playing with the concept of fashion, and prices being unrealistically high. As long as household materials play the "children's card", coupled with the concept of "nano" technology, children's paint and other hype, the price is prohibitive; the design is unreasonable and the safety is poor. Many children's furniture on the market are just small versions of adult homes. In order to attract consumers to buy, some children's furniture is very beautiful, but it lacks a reasonable design; the test report is missing, and it's messy. At present, most children's furniture on the market only indicate the content of methanol, but the number of heavy metals such as benzene is not mentioned. Many manufacturers do not conduct batch testing in order to save inspection costs. The furniture flowing into the market is inevitably left behind. Security risks.

　　Reminders from industry and commerce departments: Parents should be wary of brightly colored products when buying children's furniture, do not trust fancy sales, and remember to ask the merchants for plate test reports and paint test reports. The brighter the color of the furniture, the higher the lead content. The lead in paint can enter the human body through the respiratory tract, digestive tract, skin, etc., and then continue to accumulate in the human body, causing toxic reactions such as anemia and memory loss. The chromium in paint It also has a certain toxic effect on the human body. Many fashionable concepts added by children in the sale of children's furniture are gimmicks. For example, solid wood children's furniture, if it is not natural full solid wood furniture, adhesives are also used in the production, especially solid wood veneer furniture. many. Parents should also avoid the selection of furniture with dangerous sharp edges and sharp edges. Wardrobes, bunk beds and other furniture with folding or adjustment devices should be marked with warnings such as "Warning!" And "Be careful of pinching!" The design of other closed furniture should have “reserved vents”.
