Bed sheets containing aromatic amine dyes that can cause carcinogenic aromatic amines may cause allergic skin reactions such as skin redness, itching, eczema, etc.
For people with sensitive skin and delicate-skinned babies, exposure to these sheets can trigger a more severe allergic reaction.

Some substances contained in aromatic amine dyes, such as benzidine, long-term skin contact will bring harm to human health, may cause nausea, dizziness and other reactions, as well as increase the risk of cancer, such as bladder cancer, renal pelvis cancer, etc.

Children's immune systems are relatively weak and less resistant to harmful substances.
And especially for babies as young as a few months, they have a longer contact with bed sheets, and if the sheets contain carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes, then it is likely to have more serious effects on their health.
And carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes are used not only in bedding, but also in clothing.
Some brands of women's clothing have been sampled by the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau and found that benzidine exceeded the standard by 20 times.

Choose bedding from well-known brands, paying attention to materials, fabrics and production processes.
High-quality bedding will focus on the use of environmentally friendly materials, avoid the use of harmful substances, formal dyeing processes, and ensure the quality and safety of products through safe production processes, which are more reliable.
Look for products that meet certifications and standards
When we buy bed sheets, we must not only look at the low price!
A friend of mine always buys bed sheets for 19.9 yuan or 29.9 yuan, she always feels that she has picked up a big bargain, but the quality of such bed sheets cannot be guaranteed, and the material content is also blurred, how can you use it with confidence, especially for children to use.
When we buy it, we look at whether it has a safety certification mark, such as a standard of implementation and a safety technology category.
The implementation standard CB/T22796-2021 for bedding
Safety Technology Category GB18401-2010 Category B
Of course, there will also be category A in the safety technology category, and category A is a textile product that meets the requirements of infants and young children, and the standard is higher.
Choose natural and organic bedding
Natural and organic bedding is usually free of chemical dyes and harmful substances, which is more friendly to human health.
For example, using bed linen made from natural materials such as cotton, linen or bamboo fibre can reduce the risk of allergies and skin problems.
Come and see if there are any of these safety labels on the sheets you use.
In addition to the "poisoned sheets" mentioned, what other items should not appear in your own bedroom and your children's bedrooms?
In many families, the items in the bedroom with a high "appearance rate" are quietly affecting our health.
Little Night Light
The light from a night light may interfere with your child's normal sleep, especially with LED lights with a high blue light content.
Excessive light stimulation will inhibit the secretion of melatonin, affect sleep quality, and may lead to problems such as poor concentration, mood swings, and vision loss.
Children's sleep is essential for physical and mental development, so we try to avoid the use of night lights to create a quieter, darker sleeping environment, which is conducive to better rest and good sleep quality for children.
The potential hazards of formaldehyde wooden ornaments
Formaldehyde is a common indoor hazard, and wooden decorations may contain formaldehyde, such as bedside tables, which is potentially harmful to children's health.
Long-term exposure to formaldehyde can cause respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and a potential risk of cancer.
Formaldehyde has a greater impact on children, especially in the closed-loop environment of the bedroom, avoiding the use of wooden decorations containing formaldehyde can reduce the chance of children being exposed to formaldehyde and reduce potential health risks.
