Morning News (Reporter Zhao Wei) When buying bedding, the public should be careful to buy the "invisible killer" who is carcinogenic.
At present, the wholesale market of Shencheng bedding products is mixed, and people in the industry have revealed that the dyes used in some low-priced and inferior bedding products are mostly banned azo dyes.

Incomplete, some products can not find the factory certificate, have to worry about the safety quality of such products.

According to Xiao Liu, the price of bedding on the market is very different. Take the four-piece set as an example. The wholesale price of high quality is about 200 yuan, and the cheap wholesale price is only 30 yuan.
In a stall selling bed sheets, quilts and pillowcases, the female boss handed the reporter a four-piece set with a wholesale price of 40 yuan. The product label is only printed with a number "4", fabric composition, product standard number and factory. There is nowhere to find information such as the name of the factory.
"Is there a certificate?" asked the reporter.
"If you need it, we will give a sticker, and there will be a certificate of conformity!" the female boss whispered.
The reporter visited more than 50 stalls, and the bedding products sold by 15 stalls were incompletely marked with product label information.

The reporter learned from the quality supervision department that according to the national requirements, the manufacturer's name address, product name, product model specification, raw material content, product standard number, and durability label on the textile product label are not allowed to be missing.
Secret: Inferior bedding products with toxic dyes
At noon yesterday, the reporter dialed the contact number of Beijing Xingyue Danjiang Trading Co., Ltd. After a man answered, he was told that the reporter had asked about the unqualified product sampling and immediately hang up the phone.
According to Ms. Liu, the head of the sales department of a textile production enterprise in Shandong, the company is responsible for the sale of some of the products of “Fu An Yaâ€. The products of the unqualified batches have been out of stock. As for the specific manufacturer of the product, Ms. Liu is only vague. Said that the factory is not big, in the south.
Mr. Feng, the head of the sales department of a domestic textile enterprise, said that at present, the market concentration of the domestic textile industry is still very low, which provides some opportunities for some workshop-style enterprises. Some inferior products have seized a certain market share by low prices. .
According to the report, most of the bedding products sold in the Shencheng bedding wholesale market come from the south. In order to save costs, some small enterprises use low-grade fabrics and non-environmental azo dyes to process bedding products. After the products are branded, they are sold to the market. Less than 20% of genuine products.
According to Dong Jinshi, an environmental expert, the banned azo dyes in the country have certain toxicity. This dye has been applied to household fabrics by many small and medium-sized textile enterprises, mainly because of its simple manufacture, low price, bright and long-lasting color. The green environmentally friendly dyes are mostly imported, and the price is 3 to 4 times more expensive than the azo dyes.
Reminder: buy textiles to prevent cancer-causing "invisible killer"
Mr. Lu, a professional of the National Textile Products Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, said that after the use of azo dyes containing carcinogenic aromatic amines in textiles, in the long-term contact with the human body, the dye may be absorbed by the skin and spread in the human body. Under the biochemical reaction conditions of normal metabolism of the human body, these dyes may undergo a reduction reaction to decompose carcinogenic aromatic amines, cause human diseases and induce cancer, and the incubation period may be as long as 10 years or more.
Mr. Lu said that after decomposing aromatic amine dyes into bedding and clothes, it is not only insoluble in water, but also colorless and odorless. It cannot be distinguished from the appearance of textiles. It can only be found through technical inspection and is difficult to eliminate.
Dong Jinshi advises consumers to purchase home textile products in regular large-scale shopping malls, and check the labeling of safety technology categories on product labels. When purchasing, try to choose products with low color or small patterns. Don’t buy bright prints and fabrics. product.
