Introduction
Every season, mothers start to buy new clothes for their children, but in the process of purchasing, in addition to paying attention to the quality and style of clothes, have we ever considered the safety of clothes?
Don't know, some clothes can cause cancer, be vigilant, no matter how cheap it is, don't buy it for your children!
01
What is the starting point for clothing to cause cancer?
Previously, CCTV reported a news that during a sampling inspection by the State Administration for Market Regulation, the women's clothing of a company in Shenzhen was detected to exceed the standard of aromatic amine dyes.
What is the harm of exceeding the standard?
First of all, aromatic amines are carcinogens, and if the dyes used in the dyeing process exceed the required levels, then these substances may remain in the clothing.
When children wear these contaminated clothing, their skin will come into direct contact with carcinogens, which may cause skin problems such as allergic reactions and dermatitis.
In addition, children's physiology determines that their metabolic system is relatively fragile and their ability to eliminate toxic substances is relatively low.
Therefore, even trace amounts of carcinogens can accumulate over the long term, potentially negatively affecting your child's health.
This can include problems such as interference with growth and development, suppression of the immune system, and a threat to the child's overall health.
On the other hand, children have a higher frequency of contact with clothing during daily activities, such as school, playing outdoors, etc., which increases the impact of potential threats on them.
Especially in hotter weather, when your child's skin is more sensitive due to sweating, wearing potentially threatening clothing can lead to more pronounced allergic reactions.
Therefore, mothers must be vigilant, no matter how cheap the following clothes are, don't buy them for their children!

No matter how cheap these clothes are, don't buy them for your children
Your child's skin is delicate and more sensitive to harmful substances, so it is important to be careful when choosing clothing.
1. Overly gaudy clothing
Try to avoid clothing with bright colors and too many prints, as these may use a lot of dye. Baby's clothes should be light in color, moderately printed, and most importantly, comfortable and breathable.
2. Clothes from informal channels
Be sure to choose to buy clothes on regular supermarket product logos or e-commerce platforms to ensure the source, quality and after-sales service quality of products, and avoid buying products with poor quality because they are cheap.
3. Clothing without product identification
Moms can pay attention to the product labeling on their clothing, especially the safety category. The state stipulates that the safety category of infant textiles is Class A, pay attention to check the product label when purchasing to ensure that it meets the safety standards. Especially for babies under the age of 3.
Others, such as Class B clothing, are in direct contact with the skin, while Class C clothing is not in direct contact with the skin.
Therefore, when buying clothes for children, if they are worn closely, they are still mainly in category A.

Laundry and detail checks
After the clothes are purchased, in order to further ensure the safety of the children, mothers remember to wash the clothes, trim the threads, check the buttons and other small details before letting the children wear new clothes, so as to ensure that the children are wearing comfortable and safe new clothes.
Here are some specific recommendations for both:
1. Check the clothing label:
Wash your clothes carefully before washing them. These labels often provide information about the washing method, temperature, and type of detergent used. Follow the instructions on the label and choose the right washing method to avoid problems such as deformation and fading of the garment.
2. Pay attention to the details of the inspection
Specific details of the check include:
Threads and seams: Check the seams and seams of your garments to make sure there are no open seams or punctures that can scratch your baby's delicate skin.
Buttons and zippers: Check that the buttons are secure and the zippers are smooth to prevent danger when your baby wears them.
Collars and cuffs: Check the collar and cuffs for foreign or hard objects to avoid discomfort or allergic reactions to your baby.
Softness: Touch the fabric of the garment to ensure softness and comfort to provide a better wearing experience for your baby.
Prints and dyes: Avoid choosing clothes that are too bright in color and too much printed to reduce the potential threat to your baby from harmful dyes that may be present.
Children have higher activity levels and sweat easily, and dirt such as sweat, sebum, and bacteria on clothing can trigger allergies or other health problems.
It is recommended that mothers choose a mild baby laundry detergent to ensure that the washing process does not cause irritation to the baby's skin. Also, make sure that your clothes are well dried after washing to prevent bacteria from growing when wet.
