A finding of cancer-causing chemicals on children’s clothes sparked public fear yesterday, after a report aired on national state broadcaster China Central Television(CCTV).
The station’s Weekly Quality Report investigative programme carried the report, claiming that a recent Beijing Consumer Association test of 63 samples of children’s clothes sold on the mainland revealed that nearly a third failed to meet quality and safety standards.
The association said that problems included excessive levels of formaldehyde and other carcinogenic chemicals.
The investigation began after consumers started complaining that their children had developed skin rashes after wearing the clothes.
