Children's furniture, cute and warm, but hidden "mystery." Since the implementation of the new national standard for children's furniture in August last year, it has been more than a year, but the reporter visited a number of children's furniture stores in Beijing, but found that the implementation is not satisfactory. Is the business in order to steal the opportunity, or is there another hidden situation? The reporter launched an investigation.
Warning not to thieves!
During the visit, the reporter found that although the new national standard for children's furniture, which was implemented in August last year, clearly stated that dangerous signs need to be marked in the appropriate position of the furniture, most products in many furniture markets have not yet been marked. Is this the furniture design in the promotion staff's mouth is "very safe", or is it another hidden situation?
Merchant: No need at all
On September 9th, the reporter visited a number of sales of children's furniture stores in Beijing Fengtai District Chengwaicheng Furniture Plaza, Jimei Furniture City and Chaoyang District Real Furniture and Building Materials City, and the parents who came to buy children's furniture. In the interview, I saw that most of the furniture's wardrobe doors, drawers, etc. did not have clear hazard warnings according to national standards. In the face of reporters' questions, most of the children's furniture sales staff said that these parts are designed to be tested and safe to use, no need to mark them.
Reveal: "thief" and "risk" in the children's furniture market
"The slogans are all posted by themselves. Anyone who wants to post can be posted, and this thing is branded. No matter the style or the material, there is no problem in design safety. It has never been dangerous." Jimei Furniture City The guide brand of domestic brand children's furniture happy birds recommended to the reporter a children's multi-function desk with a price of 2199 yuan: "You see the hardware of this drawer and cabinet door, all imported from Europe, all with damping, switches are It won't be very fast, the children will use special suits to buy repeat customers.†For the corresponding labeling of the national requirements, the salesperson said, “Those are aimed at some small brands in the market, and may be unsafe when used. The brand is completely unnecessary."
Consumer: Absolutely should be marked
Subsequently, the reporter had a random interview with some parents who were engaged in the purchase of children's furniture in the furniture city. Warning labels should be posted for children's furniture. Although most parents did not hear it, they all said that such a reminder is very necessary.
“Before I was looking at style, environmental protection and price when I was selling furniture, now I have children, I must put safety in the first place, no matter whether it is the corners or the drawer handles, I am afraid that the children will be mischievous because of Injury, every time I buy it, I will try it myself." Miss Yang, who lives in Majiapu, Fengtai District, Beijing, told reporters that because of the two children in the family, they often get a finger on the door because of the fight. "Now I have fixed the door directly to the wall. I can almost always ignore it. The child is not heavy, we can only avoid the dangers that may occur.
Expert: Do not mark warning as "promotion"
It is understood that the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture, which was enforced in August 2012, clearly stipulates that if children's furniture products have folding or adjusting devices, warnings should be placed at appropriate positions of the products, such as folding doors or adjusting devices such as wardrobe doors. On the furniture, “Warning! Be careful of pinch†should be marked in the appropriate position, or on the swivel chair with the lifting pneumatic rod, the words “Danger! Do not frequently lift and play†should be marked in the appropriate position. So, why the new standard has been implemented for more than a year, but the slogan of the business is still reluctant to "show"?
On September 10, Zhou Ren, the head of a well-known domestic furniture brand technology department, said in an interview with reporters that in fact, most businesses are reluctant to mark warnings, not for “saving things†and “cost reductionâ€, but for business". “Although it is very easy to post warnings according to national requirements, for merchants, posting warnings clearly indicates the potential danger of their products, which will cause consumers who have no doubts to raise concerns and give up buying. Especially If the home is not posted and the home is posted, the merchant will feel that this is a sign of his own brand."
Zhou Ren said frankly that if you want businesses of all sizes to follow the rules, the first thing to do is to increase supervision and punishment. "Specification rules are implemented by merchants, not for businesses and consumers. If there is no supervision and supervision after implementation, merchants will not consciously perform them. Even if some large enterprises follow the requirements, they will be invisible to these excellent enterprises. Forming an unfair competitive environment.†Zhou Ren also reminded consumers: “The slogan is often a relatively more formal furniture brand. Don’t question the product of the warning content posted, but should be more trustworthy. â€
The national standard stipulates that in the furniture with folding or adjusting devices such as wardrobe doors, the warning words “Warning! Be careful of pinching!†should be marked in the appropriate position. On swivel chairs with lifting pneumatic rods, the warning words “Danger! Do not frequently lift and play†should be marked in the appropriate position. However, more than 90% of the brands surveyed by the "Detective Team" did not have warning signs on the prominent positions of the wardrobe doors, bunk beds, chair lifts and other furniture.
“For the children’s furniture manufacturers, it is really a good idea to paste the warning slogan in a prominent position, but there are many brands that are not implemented according to the national standard.†The Chamber of Commerce experts pointed out that whether it is the rounding treatment, the cabinet opening or the warning slogan, For children's furniture manufacturers, it is only one or two more processes, and it will not cause a significant increase in production costs. "The crux of the problem is that only the fifth and sixth chapters of the national standard are mandatory, and most of the chapters are recommended, lacking binding on the manufacturers, and the safety awareness of many manufacturers is not in place, resulting in children's furniture manufacturers. The implementation of national standards is uneven."
In the "In-depth Research Report on the Analysis and Development of China's Children's Furniture Market in 2010-2013", Shangpu Consulting mentioned that children's furniture has great potential for development. China has also begun to implement mandatory standards for children's furniture, but some enterprises are not familiar with the standards. As a result, the current qualified rate of children's furniture on the market is low. On the one hand, it will hinder the development of the children's furniture market. On the other hand, unqualified products will cause harm to children. Relevant departments should increase the promotion and guidance of new standards. The provisions of the new standards should be carefully studied to produce children's furniture products that meet the requirements.
"sharp" is hard to beat!
Although parents have realized that “the most vulnerable collision damage is caused by the sharp edges of children's furnitureâ€, it is inevitable that they will not be confused during the purchase process; relevant standards have been introduced, but many merchants still “see the disassembly and disassemblyâ€, and the sales are unqualified. product. Regarding the safety of children's furniture, the industry pointed out that in addition to parents to learn more, business should be actively implemented, the responsible department responsible for implementation should also increase supervision.
"Silicone corner protector" into a versatile
On September 8th, the reporter visited a number of sales of children's furniture stores in Beijing Fengtai District Chengwaicheng Furniture Plaza, Jimei Furniture City and Chaoyang District Real Furniture and Building Materials City, and the parents who came to buy children's furniture. I followed the interview. In the interview, the reporter learned that although most parents pay more attention to the design and safety of children's furniture, most of them still consider the safety hazards of different details, and said that the specific selection basis will be based on the recommendations and tips of shopping guide.
"My husband and I are both 80 years old. I don't have much experience in my children's daily life education. In fact, we attach great importance to the environmental and safety issues of children's furniture, but because they don't understand, they ask when the design is safe. Whether the protruding screws will cause danger to children, and most of the results are to listen to the opinions of the shopping guide, but they also know that they are definitely for sales purposes." An interview with the three-year-old mother Wu Yue said frankly.
Another parent who just paid for a set of children's tables and chairs, Ms. Zhang also said that she really considered the hidden dangers of the corners of the tables and chairs in the purchase, but most sales people recommended "silicone corners" to them. And said that it can effectively reduce the risk of bruises and bruises in children after use. “They told me that I can choose different angles of the corners to put them on the table and chair corners, so that I can avoid danger. I also think this thing is quite useful. The most expensive is only tens of dollars, which is acceptable.†Ms. Zhang said. In comparison, sales people belong to the "industry", so they will have a better understanding of the problems arising from various uses. Most of the parents and friends around the world have also used "silicone corners" to make up for the sharp hidden dangers of furniture edges.
Not responding to the rules
During the visit, the reporter saw that although some children's furniture sold by some well-known brands have improved and updated the furniture corners according to the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture, some relatively less influential businesses still do not meet the standards. When the product is on sale, the reporter has seen that a bookcase and study table have not been rounded and the edges are relatively sharp. In the face of reporters' questions about their security risks, the salespersons who have problems with the products are almost exactly the same - "these corners will certainly not hurt the children", and it is recommended to buy silicone corners for self-processing. When asked if such a product does not meet the national standards that have been implemented for more than a year, a foreign-owned children's furniture brand guide person from Chengwai Cheng said that “this product is still in the standard before the production. The standards have not been implemented yet!"
In addition to the angularity, there are prominent screws in the cabinets and interfaces of some children's furniture, which is quite different from the mandatory provisions in the standard. "The regulations did not say that there should be no protrusions. Manufacturers must have considered the use of safety. As long as the corners are rounded and the formaldehyde is up to standard, there is no other problem." The shopping guide of the Happy Station brand said.
Relevant departments should pay attention to implementation
On September 10, Zhou Ren, the head of a well-known domestic furniture brand technology department, said in an interview that the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture, which was implemented on August 1, 2012, clearly stipulates that children's furniture should not be dangerously sharp and edged. Tips, edges and edges should be rounded or chamfered. In order to prevent children from hiding the furniture and causing suffocation, the standard also stipulates that the cabinet-type closed furniture should have a certain ventilation function. "The sharp edge and the tip are easy to cause traumatic injury to the child's body. This is an indisputable implementation. The first standard has been implemented for more than a year, but the products that do not meet the requirements on the market can not be eliminated. Reluctance to invest in large-scale rectification is also directly related to the lack of supervision." Zhou Ren said frankly, "Whether it is the rounding of the furniture corners or the opening of the cabinet, it will not increase the excessive production cost for the furniture manufacturers. There are only one or two simple procedures.†Although there are mandatory indications in the national standard, most of the requirements are recommended implementations, which are not binding on the manufacturers. In addition, many manufacturers have little supervision due to the first-level departments. It also pays attention to the immediate cost savings and does not actively improve the implementation, thus resulting in a state of uneven implementation of the new standards.
The relevant staff of the Beijing Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce also said in an interview with reporters that parents should consider whether the other details are dangerous, in addition to paying attention to whether the edges and the tip are rounded and whether there are dangerous accidents. “Whether punching or other gaps will catch the child’s fingers, and whether the design of the folding structure has a locking device, etc. should also be the focus of the parents’ consideration. In addition, the children’s furniture should be repaired after a period of use, and the guide rails and hinge screws. It also needs to be reinforced on time to avoid potential safety hazards."
