Information on 3 models with poor protection performance
Two models such as "Digumi Reangel" exceeded the pH standard
Formaldehyde, decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes, migratory fluorescent brighteners and ethylene oxide were not detected in 60 samples; the microbial indicators met the relevant standard requirements.
GB/T 3880-2020 "Technical Specifications for Children's Masks" requires that the pH value of children's masks should be between 4.0 and 7.5, and the pH value of 2 samples exceeds this range, and it is not recommended for children to wear. The nominal goods relate to "Digumi Reangel":
Information on 2 samples with pH values that do not meet the requirements of the standard
Four models such as "Kefu" have poor durability
In the durability test, the four samples did not meet the requirements of the explicit standard, and when the tensile force required by the standard was not met, the connection between the mask belt and the mask body broke, and there was a certain risk. The nominal goods relate to "Youhekang" and "Kefu":
The mask belt and the mask body junction break strongly do not meet the requirements of the standard of 4 sample information
Heilongjiang Consumers Association reminds consumers:
- Children's masks should be purchased on a regular platform. Avoid buying at roadside stalls or micro-merchants without sales qualifications.
- The product name does not allow consumers to directly and effectively distinguish between product types, and should focus on the product standards indicated on the mask packaging, and select the mask that meets the requirements of the standard technical indicators under the corresponding use scenarios; it is necessary to see the appearance and select the material.
- Attention should also be paid to the appearance type of children's masks, because in the case of the same raw materials of meltblown cloth, the better the fit of the mask and the face, the better the protective effect, the degree of fit between the three-dimensional mask and the face is better than that of the flat mask, and the sealing of the headband is better than that of the earband product.
- Choose a mask for your child to ensure the comfort of the mask, when purchasing, you can touch the mask, if you can touch the sharp tip and sharp edge, then the mask is not qualified.
