Buy shoes for your children. Many parents think that as long as they like, the right size, and the comfortable touch is enough, there are not many requirements.
is not the case. Some children's shoes seem to be exquisitely made and have fashionable and beautiful appearance, but in fact, the toxic substances exceed the standard and are "poisonous children's shoes". CCTV has exposed the "poisonous children's shoes" incidents many times.
Children walk around wearing these "poisonous children's shoes" every day, which will not only affect the development of the feet, but may even lead to precocious puberty and damage intelligence, with extremely serious consequences.
shoes are small, but they are a big issue related to children's health. We must carefully choose when purchasing to avoid buying those inferior "poisonous children's shoes".
CCTV exposed "poisonous children's shoes" many times
Since 2014, my country's quality supervision department has conducted random inspections of children's shoes every year, and the inspection items include wear resistance, peel strength, physical and mechanical safety performance, formaldehyde , heavy metal content, tensile strength, etc.
In 2018, the random inspection results released by the Shanghai Quality Supervision Bureau showed that among the 40 batches of products inspected, 12 batches were unqualified, with an unqualified rate of up to 30%.
In other words, every 3 children may be "poisoned" all the time.
In 2021, the Guangzhou Consumer Commission released the "Comparative Test Report on Shoes and Children's Shoes for Elderly People", which conducted quality testing on 36 children's shoes on the market, of which 4 children's shoes phthalate seriously exceeded the standard, and the phthalate content of a well-known brand even exceeded the national standard by 146 times. Data such as
made many parents frightened. They never thought that their children might wear "toxic shoes" every day.
In June this year, CCTV's " Weekly Quality Report " once again exposed a batch of "poisonous children's shoes". Among the 200 batches of samples inspected this time, 48 batches were unqualified, and the unqualification rate was still as high as 24.5%.
What are the dangers of "poisonous children's shoes"?
Most parents pay more attention to style and feel when buying shoes for their children, but in fact, there are many indicators to measure whether a pair of children's shoes is qualified. In addition to comfortable wearing, the quality of the shoes is more important. If the harmful substances exceed the standard, it will be very harmful to the growth and development of children.
For example, some children's shoes have been detected as "seriously exceeding the phthalate". This chemical substance can enter the human body through the respiratory tract, digestive tract, skin, etc., and interfere with the human endocrine system, thereby causing premature puberty in children, and may even imbalance in hormones in boys, showing a tendency to "girlize".
Another example is that some children's shoes are detected as "heavy metal content exceeds the standard". After these heavy metals enter the child's body through the skin, they will accumulate in the liver and kidneys because they cannot be metabolized.
Over time, it will not only cause harm to the child's liver and kidneys, but also cause " heavy metal poisoning ", damage the child's central nervous system , and affect intellectual development.
Previous studies have pointed out that for every 10 micrograms of lead added to the blood of children, the child's intelligence will be reduced by 5.5%, and if the situation is serious, it may even be life-threatening.
In addition, there is also the problem of excessive formaldehyde in children's shoes. It is well known that formaldehyde can enter the human body through the respiratory tract and skin. Children wearing "toxic children's shoes" with excessive formaldehyde for a long time can easily cause respiratory diseases, skin allergies, and even increase the probability of cancer.
Therefore, when we buy children's shoes for our children, we must carefully choose them, have "fierce eyes" and strictly help the children keep a close eye.
How to choose children's shoes for your children?
1. Look at the appearance
Some shoes seem to have strange shapes and attract attention, but in fact they will affect the development of children's feet. Therefore, when we choose children's shoes for children, the appearance should not be too fancy, and the shoe shape should be relatively standard.
2. Smell the smell
children's shoes that pass the standard material must have no irritating smell. We should pay attention to distinguishing it when purchasing.
What should be especially careful is that some merchants will add fragrance to the shoes in order to cover up the smell of the shoes themselves. This kind of product should also be purchased with caution. Good children's shoes should not have any odor. Only when they get close will they have a faint rubber smell.
3. The sole should be moderately soft and hard
Some parents buy shoes for their children that the softer the sole, the better. This is actually a big misunderstanding.
The child's muscles, ligaments and bones are in the development stage. Shoes need to have certain support to be more conducive to the development of the child's foot.
When we purchase it for our children, we can fold the sole in half. If it is bent 1/3 of the front sole, it means that the softness and hardness of the sole of the children's shoes are more suitable.
4. The size should be appropriate
Although children's feet grow very fast and children's shoes need to be changed constantly, parents should not buy shoes that are bigger for their children in order to wear them for a while.
If the shoes are too big and the child's feet cannot be fixed, it is easy to cause problems such as foot inversion , foot outward , and flat foot . Therefore, when we buy shoes for our children, the size must be appropriate.
Lao Miao Conclusion:
Buying shoes for children should not only look at the appearance. The key lies in whether the child is comfortable to wear, heels, and whether the material is healthy and qualified.
In short, although shoes are inconspicuous, they are related to children's health problems. Don't ignore them and pay more attention to them when purchasing.
