Do you usually go to catch dolls?
Now, in major supermarkets and video game cities
"Crane machines" can be seen everywhere
Both adults and children are welcome
Play for a while in front of the "Clip Doll" console
After many people caught the doll,
Habitually placed on the sofa, bedside,
But recently
"It's better not to put the doll on the bed"
"Dolls in the crane machine may contain first-class carcinogens"
and other topics have been on the hot search one after another
Some media and regulatory authorities have found that the quality of plush toys (hereinafter referred to as "dolls") in the crane machine is worrying, and some products contain formaldehyde, a first-class carcinogen. Long-term exposure to low-dose formaldehyde has great safety risks.
So where did these dolls come from?
Are the indicators in compliance?
The reporter's investigation found
The situation is indeed not encouraging
Dolls in some shopping mall crane machines
It is a "three-no" product
According to the requirements of the national "Compulsory Product Certification Catalogue", plush toys are toy products that require 3C certification, and manufacturers and sellers must obtain 3C certification when they put their products on the market.
Recently, a reporter visited a number of shopping malls in Shanghai and found that a considerable number of dolls in the crane machine still do not meet the national standards.
In the playground of a shopping mall in Shanghai, the reporter counted the dolls in 55 crane machines:
- The dolls in the 21 machines do not have any labels, and it is impossible to obtain production information and 3C certification, and many of them are similar to or imitate well-known IP products;
Some dolls belong to the "three nos" products
- The dolls in the 9 machines have labels such as "certificate of conformity", but there is no production information on the "certificate", and consumers are only reminded to pay attention to removing the appendages on the doll when using it;
Some dolls have labels, but there is no valid production information
- In the remaining 25 machines, the dolls have full production information labels or hang tags.
Produce well-informative dolls
In another crane machine theme store, preliminary statistics show that among the dozens of crane machines, less than half of the dolls have labels or tags that meet national standards. Some of the dolls without any labels have rough workmanship, and the filling almost leaks out of the seams.
Some of the "three no" dolls are crudely worked, visible to the naked eye
In addition to catching dolls theme store
Put it in the crane machine in the mall
The quality of the dolls is similarly uneven
In the 3 crane machines placed in a passage in a shopping mall in Shanghai——
- The doll "identity information" of a crane machine is complete;
- The doll in the other one is labeled "boutique dolls", but there is no production information on the back of the label, only safety tips;
- The remaining one of the machines is a "three-no" doll.
It looks like a "doll" with a label, but its label does not have valid production information and safety certification.
Survey:
Dolls are inexpensive
Most have no production information and labels
Are dolls clipped out of a crane machine safe?
The reporter contacted some crane machine suppliers or crane machine theme store brand licensees, and was told that the threshold for opening a crane machine theme store or putting a crane machine is very low. As for the dolls in the machine, you can either use the doll machine manufacturer or the brand licensee of the doll machine shop, or accept the purchaser to purchase it by himself.
A sales representative of a crane machine manufacturer said that dolls with better quality and complete labels are usually sold at around six yuan if they are not well-known IP licensed products, while dolls with poor quality can be purchased for two or three yuan. ”
On the e-commerce platform, you can search for merchants that provide a large number of plush toys, many of which contain the words "doll machine doll" in the product introduction, and the retail price is only 6~7 yuan. But when the reporter asked the customer service about the quality of the doll, he found that there were many problems.
The customer service of a plush toy store in a "ten-year-old store" told reporters that you can buy Internet celebrity dolls for six or seven yuan, but the products have no production information and labels. When the reporter asked about the product manufacturer and brand, the customer service provided relevant information.
The customer service introduces the production information
However, the reporter's comparison of industrial and commercial registration information shows that the production enterprise has been cancelled in 2022. In the store evaluation, some consumers pointed out that the workmanship of the product was rough and the actual product was different from the introduction of the merchant.
Consumer reviews
Another customer service also replied that the dolls supplied did not have production information and labels, but could be customized with logos. When the reporter asked whether the quality was reliable and whether the test report could be provided, the other party said that he would consult the manufacturer, but the reporter did not receive a reply until the deadline.
Judging from the problem dolls disclosed by the media and regulatory authorities before, most of them are products with incomplete production information and no 3C certification. For example, most of the problem dolls investigated and dealt with by the Shanghai Baoshan District Market Supervision Bureau did not have the name or address of the Chinese production factory, and the hair was loose and inelastic, rough workmanship, and had a peculiar smell. The number of problem dolls is not a small number, and more than 4,000 problem dolls have been confiscated from 7 doll machine shops.
Class 1 carcinogens!
The consequences of excessive formaldehyde can be severe
Earlier, the "Binhai Times" published a news: a boy in Tanggu, Tianjin, suddenly coughed at home, had difficulty breathing, and was covered with red rashes and extremely itchy. His parents rushed him to the hospital, and after examination, it was found that it was caused by excessive formaldehyde at home. Further testing revealed that the culprit turned out to be a newly bought plush toy!
An industry insider engaged in the textile foreign trade business pointed out that formaldehyde in plush toys mainly comes from toy fabrics and fillers. In the production process, the dyes, fixing agents, adhesives, etc. used in fabrics may contain formaldehyde. In addition, there will be some raw materials formaldehyde up to standard, but after assembly, the cumulative formaldehyde of the entire product exceeds the standard.
Formaldehyde is a colorless gas, do not think that the fabric will not exceed the formaldehyde standard if it has no peculiar smell. Generally speaking, the odor emitted by dolls comes from dyes, fixing agents, etc., and formaldehyde without smell is also quietly endangering health. It is a Class 1 carcinogen!
Some doctors said that if you are exposed to dolls with excessive formaldehyde for a long time, the consequences may be serious and even life-threatening. In addition, in addition to excessive formaldehyde, dolls are also prone to accumulate dust mites, which can induce bronchial asthma and other diseases.
