Children's furniture struggles with quality vortex

Parents and children today, when they see children's furniture, will have a little worry besides the happy expression: are they safe? When the famous children's furniture brands in the market are struggling frequently in the vortex of quality, safety issues have become the biggest hidden danger behind the glory of children's furniture.

"Every time the quality supervision department conducts random inspections, there must be products that fail." This seems to have become a "law" in the children's furniture industry, and parents' uneasiness and concerns are obviously not superfluous. A recent "Quality Gate" occurred in June this year. The Shanghai Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Committee published a comparison test result of a crib that was inspected by the Shanghai Quality Supervision and Inspection Technology Research Institute. A total of 7 out of 17 random inspection products did not meet the standard. Among them, the "Ximengbao" brand crib produced by Zhangzhou Xiyingmen Furniture Products Co., Ltd. (specification model: BA61005-01000 × 622 × 840mm), because the indicators such as “bed surface”, “side board and headboard” did not meet the standards, The product was judged as unqualified and was listed on the quality "black list". At the same time, the S1-B00020 cribs of the "Colorful Forest" series under the colorful life also appeared on the "Black List". In addition to the "bed surface", "side board and headboard" two indicators did not meet the standard, "gap "Distance" also failed.

In the previous month, 9 enterprises including Dinghong Furniture and Plateau Furniture also fell into the "quality gate". On May 31 this year, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision announced the results of a random inspection on the quality of Shanghai-made children's furniture products. After inspection, there were 9 batches out of 24 batches of which failed, among which the bedside cabinet with specifications of 400 × 400 × 490mm produced by Shanghai Dinghong Furniture Manufacturing Factory in January 2010 and 500 produced by Shanghai Plateau Furniture Factory × 400 × 510mm / C5 bedside cabinets are listed due to the requirements of woodworking and the unqualified formaldehyde emission.

Guangdong furniture has always been regarded as the vane of China's furniture industry. In the face of the temptation of a piece of children's furniture whose market share is increasing year by year, some companies have also left a "smear" that is difficult to erase. On May 26, 2009, the Guangdong Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision announced the results of a special supervision and random inspection of children ’s furniture containing three types of wooden cabinets, beds and tables. It showed that 20 of the 62 batches were unqualified, not The pass rate is 32.3%, including well-known brands such as "Good E Home", "Diseland", "Sunshine Rain Dew" and "Love My Home".

According to incomplete statistics, in the past two years, there have been more than 40 children's furniture manufacturers with a certain reputation that have "fallen" in various quality inspections, of which more than 20 children's furniture companies have been on the quality "black list" in the first half of this year. "This does not include miscellaneous brand children's furniture enterprises that have not entered regular channels such as hypermarkets. Although there are hundreds of large and small children's furniture manufacturers in the country, and the proportion of unqualified enterprises in the industry is still small, large-scale enterprises frequently have hidden safety hazards, allowing children who are in the most vulnerable and least self-protective society Without security, people have to worry.

Heavy style and light safety become the crux

“The reason why children ’s furniture is frequently exposed is because most manufacturers focus on product styles and colors. They just want to attract children ’s attention in the first place, but they do not pay enough attention to quality issues, especially product safety performance. "A furniture manufacturer analyzes the reasons why many children's furniture companies fall into the" quality gate ".

On July 29th, after a round of shopping in the West Fourth Ring Store of Aijia Home Furnishing in Beijing, the reporter found that there are not many children's furniture companies with such "heavy style but light safety". Take "cute" children's furniture as an example. Although the exhibition hall has created a childlike living space, there are a variety of different main colors such as sky blue, pink and purple for children to choose from, and there are many toys that children like, which makes the environment pleasant. If you look closely, you will find that the safety index of the product is not very high. For example, the metal door handle of a pink wardrobe is raised on the plane. The naughty children themselves like to play and play. If parents do not take special care It's easy for them to hit the raised handle and get injured.

In contrast, the "Harry Chalet" series of the top 100 furniture not far from the "cute" storefront is extraordinarily safe. The handle made of Australian soft wool replaces the metal or wooden handles that were commonly used in the past, so that the small hands of children can easily open the drawer or cabinet; the sliding openings of all products are designed to be recessed below the surface of the product, rather than convex It starts on the surface of the product to prevent children from accidentally bumping or knocking on it; even hardware components such as screws are not exposed, but wrapped in soft hair of suitable size; used in the production process The glue is a Japanese cold spell glue. This glue is an ingredient that will be contained in chewing gum. Children do not need to worry about safety when using furniture; all furniture edges are designed with rounded corners instead of right angles to avoid children They were bruised. In the words of Chen Xiaotai, general manager of Baiqiang Furniture, "we can think of potential safety hazards that we can avoid as much as possible."

"In addition to shape, function and color, the safety performance of the product has become the most important link of our company." It owns "I love my home" and "more love" Evergrande, known as "the first brand of national youth and children's furniture" Tan Yi, chairman of the furniture, said that they have three measures for safety, namely, ensuring high stability of the furniture, designing rounded corners in the design, painting the paint and using the board are required to meet environmental standards. "Improved safety performance will increase production costs, but we think it is worthwhile." Tan Yi said.

The best brand products for safety

"There are more than 300 million children under the age of 16 in China, accounting for about 1/4 of the national population. With the gradual emphasis on the decoration of children's rooms by children, the children's furniture market has great potential for development." Zhu Changling, vice chairman of the China Furniture Association, pointed out that in recent years The children's furniture industry in China has developed rapidly, and has been derived into independent furniture categories. There are more than 200 companies specializing in children's furniture, but there are no relevant standards and irregular management has become a stumbling block for the development of the industry.

A children ’s furniture designer agrees with this point of view and points out, “Many parents are most concerned about environmental protection and safety when buying children ’s furniture to ensure that children can grow up healthily. If companies pay attention to these during production and R & D, Designs that reduce sharp corners and protrusions, and then combine the physical and psychological characteristics of children, ingeniously combine factors such as color, material and height, and the final purchaser is definitely rushing. "

Industry experts suggest that there are three safety-related details that must be paid attention to when choosing furniture for children: First, do not buy furniture decorated with large pieces of glass and mirrors. Because most children are lively and active, they are quite "destructive" "If the glass breaks, it is easy to hurt the child; the second is to choose a children ’s bed with a wooden bed and a hard spring bed to avoid the child ’s bone deformity caused by the bed being too soft; the third is that the gap between each column of the bed rail should be controlled At a distance of 7 centimeters that has passed international safety tests, the bed rail gap is too large or too small, it is easy to get stuck in the head or hands and feet, causing unnecessary injuries. According to reports, many unqualified children's furniture has problems in these aspects, and these problems have been ignored by many companies.

"It's best to buy branded products, and buy them in branded home stores." Liu Chen, secretary general of the Beijing Market Association Home Furnishing Branch, proposed such a "shortcut" for buying children's furniture. In his view, for any enterprise that truly becomes a brand, product quality must be its first consideration, and the design aspect will also be unique. "Even if something goes wrong, it's easier to track down."

It is reported that, after being exposed by the quality supervision department, Ximengbao, Qi Cai Life and other brand children's furniture quickly took measures such as recall, which showed the responsible attitude of the brand enterprise, and some miscellaneous furniture took an attitude of ignoring the exposure of the quality supervision department. , "Anyway, there is no reputation, so why magnify the stain yourself?"

Pigments are used for coloring paint, Ink, plastic, fabric, cosmetics, food and other materials. Most pigments used in manufacturing and the visual arts are dry colorants, usually ground into a fine powder. This powder is added to a binder (or vehicle), a relatively neutral or colorless material that suspends the Pigment and gives the paint its adhesion.

A distinction is usually made between a pigment, which is insoluble in its vehicle (resulting in a suspension), and a dye, which either is itself a liquid or is soluble in its vehicle (resulting in a solution). A colorant can act as either a pigment or a dye depending on the vehicle involved. In some cases, a pigment can be manufactured from a dye by precipitating a soluble dye with a metallic salt.
