Multi-brand children's wear was exposed to carcinogenic aromatic amines

During the "61" Children's Day, Guangzhou City's industrial and commercial administration and quality supervisors respectively conducted spot checks on children's clothes sold and produced in Guangzhou. As a result, serious quality problems such as carcinogenic aromatic amines and excessive formaldehyde were found. It is understood that the brands that were exposed include Beimeiyi, Jidongdong, and Aiwan.

It is understood that the decomposable aromatic amine dyes are dyes synthesized from 23 kinds of carcinogenic aromatic amines as intermediates, also called banned azo dyes. Among the aromatic amine compounds, 2-naphthylamine and benzidine have the highest carcinogenic toxicity. They can make changes in the structure and function of intracellular DNA, induce cancer, and incubation period of up to 20 years.

Subsequently, the reporter learned from the network sales center that Taobao currently has these brands on sale, with about a dozen sellers. The reporter learned from the children's wear counters in several shopping malls in Xinjiekou that there are currently no such brands sold. However, some street shops have sales, and these children's clothing stores have higher sales prices than the internet.

The traditional Chinese medicine practitioners of the Department of Dermatology at Duchangming in Nanjing told reporters that children's skin is delicate and many clothes are in direct contact with children's skin. Therefore, they may have toxic effects on the skin. Among Dr. Du's cases, many patients experienced allergies because they wore new clothes. Some had rashes, and others had blisters. Since there was no definite history of allergies before putting on this piece of clothing, after wearing the clothes, skin problems appeared one after another, and after stopping wearing problem clothes, these symptoms disappeared.

Therefore, it can be determined that the skin disease caused by clothes is indeed.

At the same time, Dr. Du said that if the formaldehyde and other toxic and harmful substances in the clothes exceed the standards, it will give children a strong stimulation of the respiratory tract and skin and mucous membranes, causing respiratory system damage, and trigger a variety of inflammation. Skin contact with formaldehyde has sensitization, rash, and other reactions. Toxicity in infants is manifested in asthma, bronchitis, chromosomal abnormalities, and decreased resistance.
