The results showed that there were 49 batches of home textile products with marking, fiber content, dyeing fastness, pH value and other items that did not meet the relevant standards. Among them, the decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes were detected in 5 batches of products of 4 companies. These unqualified home textile products included 4 sets of bedding, thick sheets, double quilt cover and so on.
