"Children paint" allegedly hangs sheep to sell dog meat

Children's beds, children's chairs, children's lamps... In recent years, whether it is household items or building materials products, they have started to “get children to talk about things.” Even wall paints have children's clothes, and the “children’s problems” that follow are also Frequent occurrences. In order to curb the chaos in the children's furniture market, China's first national standard for children's furniture will be enforced in August this year, while the market standard for children's paint is still blank. The reporter visited the Jiangcheng building materials market and found that children's paint prices are several times higher than ordinary paint, and all products are nominally environmentally friendly and resistant to pollution. According to industry sources, children's paints sell only "concepts."

Case: New home renovation has odor, harmful substances exceeded In October last year, Ms. Chen’s new home was completely renovated. She had planned to spend the Spring Festival in her new home. She had to postpone her stay because her room smelled too much. In order to move into a new home as soon as possible, she put a spider plant, grapefruit peel, and activated carbon in the room, sprayed a photocatalyst, and kept it ventilated. At the end of last month, Ms. Chen discovered that the paint smell of the new house had finally disappeared, so the family moved into their new home.

Unexpectedly, since her arrival in her new home, Ms. Chen has gotten dry eyes and nose every morning, especially her 3-year-old daughter often coughs slightly. After diagnosis, the upper respiratory tract of the child was infected and it took more than a week to get better. Under the introduction of a friend, Ms. Chen invited a decoration pollution control company. The test found that the benzene content in the new home environment was slightly exceeded.

According to Guo Wei, Secretary-General of the Wuhan Building Decoration Association, many people complained that the new house had been completely odored. “Although the proportion of complaints about children's rooms is small, the degree of concern has increased significantly and the number has increased.”

At present, official data show that there are about 800,000 children died of respiratory infections in China caused by renovation pollution every year. Among them, the death causes of more than 300,000 children under the age of 5 are related to indoor air pollution, especially some newly built and newly renovated. The environmental pollution of kindergartens and homes is very serious. In children's room decoration and decoration materials, paint and paint have the greatest hidden dangers.

Market: Children's lacquer frying “selling point” is several times higher than the ordinary lacquer price. The reporter found in the IKEA decoration plaza of Xiaodongmen. The major brands have introduced one or two products for children's room decoration. The products also have their own selling points. Some of them feature "natural bamboo charcoal factor, Zhuo effect scrub", and some advertise "super hiding power, more than 1,800 kinds of mature color options".

Under gorgeous packaging, the price of children's paint is generally double or even more than ordinary paint. For example, the price of a 5L “children's bedroom paint” is 288 yuan, while the same brand of ordinary interior wall paint only 130 yuan; a market price of “Disney Wonderful Paint” is 569 yuan/5L, compared with the same brand. Normal paint is nearly 5 times higher.

Why children's paint prices several times higher than ordinary paint? A salesman said: "Children's paint can paint and wash more than ordinary paint, and is more environmentally friendly than ordinary wall paint." The reporter visited several paint shops and found that the selling point of children's paint is anti-fouling in addition to environmental protection. Many children's paint products sold by stores cannot provide specific data on test reports or hazardous substances. A manager of a wall paint brand dealer in Hubei revealed that “children's paint is just a change of packaging, positioning is high, and in fact it is not very different from ordinary paint.”

Guo Wei introduced that, at present, the limit standard for harmful substances in interior wall decoration materials for interior decoration materials is different for different types of inhabitants, including one type of home and two types of home. The former mainly refers to densely populated and often-occupied places. “Home improvement belongs to this category, and the elderly and children also.” And the second-class residents mainly refer to institutions, office locations, hotels, waiting rooms and other public places.
