Recently, the Zhejiang Provincial Market Supervision Bureau issued a notice on quality supervision and spot inspection of plastic slippers. A total of 58 batches of plastic shoe products were randomly inspected, and 13 batches of products were found to be unqualified. They were from e-commerce platforms such as Douyin, JD.com, and Tmall, as well as physical stores and supermarkets such as Yonghui, Trust-Mart, and Century Lianhua. Some products Carcinogens detected.
This is the current random inspection of various types of slippers with brands. If they are unbranded slippers in bulk, the problem is more serious. Common problems include excessive phthalate content in some slippers and excessive lead content in the soles. According to doctors, phthalates are used to shape and fix shapes. They are widely used in toys, food packaging materials, medical blood bags and hoses, vinyl floors and wallpapers, detergents, lubricants, and personal care products. (such as nail polish, hair spray, soap and shampoo) and other hundreds of products, but it has serious harm to human health. It is easily absorbed by the body through the skin. Generally speaking, if the quality of the raw materials of the product is poorer, the amount of phthalates used will be higher and the pungent smell will be stronger. Phthalates can interfere with the human body's endocrine system, affect the male reproductive system, especially the liver and kidneys of children, and may also induce precocious puberty in children!
Lead is a toxic heavy metal that is extremely harmful to the human body. When lead and its compounds enter the human body, it will cause harm to multiple systems such as the nervous system, hematopoiesis, digestion, kidneys, cardiovascular and endocrine systems. Lead can affect children's growth and development, and may cause children's mental retardation, cognitive dysfunction, and even neurological damage.
So how to buy suitable slippers for your children?
1. Children are in the developmental stage of their bodies. When purchasing children's shoes, parents should try not to choose cheap and brightly colored children's shoes. The upper material should be comfortable and breathable cotton and genuine leather, which is conducive to the growth and development of children's feet.
2. Don’t buy if it smells pungent! do not buy! do not buy!
3. When weighing, those that look shiny and light are usually new materials, and those that are heavy to the touch are mostly old materials.
4. Do not buy flip-flops for your children, as they can easily cause flat foot deformity.
5.The "croc shoes" that have become popular in recent years are soft and easy to put on and take off, but they are not suitable for children under 5 years old. Since last year, there have been frequent incidents in the United States of children pinching their toes in elevators while wearing Crocs, with an average of four to five cases per week during the summer. The Japanese government also warned consumers that children wearing Crocs are more likely to have their feet pinched in elevators. It is recommended that children under 5 years old try not to wear Crocs when riding in elevators or going to amusement parks.
