China : Children clothing exports disqualified

Write: Winston [2011-05-20]
A firm check on Chinese exports of children clothing in September revealed shocking results. Nearly 22.5 percent of the export was marked as unqualified in the safety items where as another 50 percent were disqualified in the non-stretching section of accessories.
The scrutiny was done by Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Hangzhou city and key problem areas recognized were shedding and fragmentation of buttons and other garment accessories.
In the first quarter of 2007, American Consumable Security Committee recalled Chinese made children apparels four times whereas last year in the same period, it was revoked only once.
A recall was also announced by EU this year on grounds of inferior quality of materials, bands, zips and buttons. With regard to such frequent call back of Chinese goods from American market, the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Hangzhou has urged local manufacturers to carefully check the children clothing goods before exporting.
