UNIQLO Jarra Gap and some infant clothes, hazardous substances exceeded the standard 'recall order'

In the case of children's products including some of the famous brands such as Uniqlo, Zara, and Agabang, acid substances were found to be over the standard value and were recalled. The recalled products exceeded the safety standards for the detection of harmful substances such as hydrogen ion concentration (pH), phthalate plasticizer, lead, and cadmium.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (MOCIE) conducted a safety survey on children, infants and household electrical appliances in March and April. As a result, 55 companies failed to meet safety standards and 60 items were recalled Said in a statement.

According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIS), the safety survey shows that the total number of children and infant products (15 types, 884 items), household goods (2 types, 15 items) 1418 products, and the recall rate is 4.2%. The recall targets 35 children and infants, 2 household items, and 23 electric appliances.

There were many products in the fashion group that exceeded the toxic hazard level. Uniqlo 'Ultra Stretch Denim pants' (under damage), hydrogen ion concentration (pH) was detected more than 24%, and the same material in the slack hat and sock also passed the standard value of 26.7%. Agaebang & Co.'s 'Juanda Man-to-man T-shirt' has detected a lead content of 10.6 times the standard value. Perspex 'Cross tough BK2' sneakers were found to be 1.3 to 2.3 times the standard phthalate plasticizer.

If the hydrogen ion concentration exceeds the reference value, it may cause atopy. Phthalate plasticizers, which are environmental hormones, can affect the liver and kidneys, and lead is likely to cause dermatitis and keratitis.

In addition, LED lighting fixtures, electric fomentation appliances, and portable lasers with the risk of visual damage are subject to recall. Children 's bicycles and kickboards, which exceed phthalate plasticizers and lead, were also recalled.

According to the Article 26 of the Framework Act on Product Safety in case of violation, a person concerned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (KITA) said, "Businesses that have to carry out recall measures must immediately collect the products in accordance with Article 11 of the Basic Act on Product Safety. I can get a prison sentence of up to three years or a fine of up to 30 million won. "

Meanwhile, the National Institute of Standards and Technology released the recalled product to the Product Safety Information Center and the recalled product reminder and registered it as a countermeasure sale system to block sales at large retail outlets and online shopping malls nationwide.
