IKEA launches “Dreatable Drawer†recall to focus on children’s furniture safety
The safety of children's furniture can't be tolerated, even if the consumer's reputation is not bad IKEA is no exception. In the early hours of June 29, Beijing time, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced that IKEA has decided to recall 29 million chests of drawers including the best-selling Malm series in the United States. This has shocked the industry. The reason is that since 1989, these problems have caused the death of 6 children and 36 children have been injured in a chest of drawers! In February 2016, a 22-month-old boy in Minnesota, United States, was killed by the collapse of the chest of drawers in the Malmö. This is the third tragedy in this series of furniture. In response, an IKEA spokesperson stated that it is very important that this piece of furniture is “fixed to the wall†and that this piece has been clearly stated in the assembly instructions for the product. The spokesperson emphasized that fixing the cabinet to the wall using the hardware and limit kits in the assembly instructions is itself intended to prevent tipping. Children's naughty is nature, and some details of the children's room home must be done by parents for their sake. So what are the hidden dangers of children's furniture?
Visible hazards:
1. Whether children's furniture is firm and stable:
Just like in the tragedy caused by this IKEA drawer cabinet, whether the cabinet is fixed and whether the drawer can be locked is safe for children. All the cabinet doors in the house must be protected from children's climbing and collision, so that the furniture should fall down and heavy objects should not be placed on the furniture to prevent items from falling and causing injury.
2, do not have a confined space at home
Children like to drill everywhere, so do not have closed furniture. There must be ventilation holes in the cabinets to prevent children from playing in and hiding them, causing suffocation accidents.
3, home accessories carefully view
Some of the furniture hardware will have exposed sharp objects that need careful inspection. In addition, some of the pieces of furniture have small parts that can be removed. They must be fixed to prevent children from swallowing.
4, corners can not be sharp
Children like to run and jump. All corners, corners and corners of the home must be protected. All sharp corners should be wrapped in obtuse angles to ensure that there are no sharp points in the home and children are not injured.
5, furniture should be fixed, it is best not to buy folding furniture
The best furniture is fixed firmly, it is best not to be deformed, it is recommended that children's rooms do not have easy to open or folded folding furniture, to avoid accidental injury.
Invisible hazards:
Formaldehyde is the most easily contained hazard in children's furniture and can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, etc., and can even cause cancer. Therefore, children's room furniture must check whether there is excessive formaldehyde, excessive heavy metals and other environmental issues. How to check it?
1, obviously pungent taste
Smell the furniture you have purchased. If you feel tears and sneezing, the taste is particularly large, indicating that the formaldehyde emission of the furniture is relatively high. You may have problems and do not buy it.
2, see the formaldehyde emission report:
When purchasing furniture, ask the dealer for a quality inspection report. This is the most authoritative proof. Check whether the formaldehyde emission of the furniture is within the allowable range of the standard. It is advisable to purchase the furniture that has reached e1 standard sheet production.
3, do not map cheap
Some low-priced furniture is questionable. Because most of the wood furniture with excessive formaldehyde use cheap man-made boards, do not harm the health of the family because of the map.
4, sign the contract:
When buying children's furniture, it is best to sign a "Furniture Sale Contract" and write all the terms into the contract to prevent future harm to the child.
5. Invoicing:
The purchase of children's furniture must be open formal invoices, informal invoices are often difficult to use as evidence of post-defense rights.
