Children's products export companies need to pay attention to the safety of plastic bags

Not long ago, a children's products manufacturing company received a notification from the EU REPEX system. The products that were notified were blankets covering the cot on the edge and were packed in a transparent plastic bag. The plastic packaging bags that were reported as unqualified had not been tested by a third party prior to export. After being sampled and tested by the Finnish National Children's Products Supervision Department, it was found that the cadmium content of the product packaging plastic bags exceeded the standard.

With the understanding of the company, the company itself only pays attention to the quality of the product itself, ignoring the concern about the safety and hygiene requirements of its product packaging, and expressing its willingness to destroy the unqualified plastic packaging bag on-site and bear relevant losses.

This briefing case is very special. We have opened a series of cases in which toys, children's wear and other children's products in China were previously recalled by the European Union. Most of the product itself has small components that do not meet the regulatory requirements and are easy to fall off, so that children may swallow and cause throat or trachea. The risk of death or death caused by paralysis or suffocation; or the content of heavy metals, phthalates (plasticizers) contained in the ink, metal, and PVC materials of the product exceeds the prescribed limits, and causes neurological and reproductive development and other health problems for children. Hazard and so on. The notification of product packaging is limited to the thickness of the plastic packaging bag cannot meet the requirements, easy to make children inhale and cause the risk of suffocation. This is the first time that the notification of the unsatisfactory requirements for the chemical safety performance of plastic bags for children's products has been performed. Although the company's foreign customers have changed the packaging in accordance with the requirements in the local area, the company has recovered the impact and losses for the company, but this matter has given us a wake-up call for the export production and supervision of children's products, export children's plastic bags chemical Safety requirements cannot be ignored.
