In recent days, toys exported to the European Union have been investigated for incidents involving the detection of phthalates containing artificial leather materials.
The EU officially implemented the directive on phthalates on January 16, 2007 (European Parliament and Council Directive 2005/84/EC). According to the requirements of this directive, dihexyl phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and phenylbutyl phthalate (BBP) will be restricted to all toys and children's products. Used in plastic materials; diisodecyl phthalate (DIHP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP), dioctyl phthalate (DNOP) will be limited to Used in plastic materials used in toys and children's products. The European Commission on Toxicology, Biotoxicology and the Environment believes that plasticizers are harmful to children's health. In the production process of artificial leather, plasticizers are used. In recent years, although various artificial leather manufacturing enterprises have strengthened the requirements for the environmental protection of raw and auxiliary materials, some manufacturers use plasticizers containing phthalates. Due to the fact that the proportion of individual plush toys used in artificial leather is very small, most of them are used for decoration. The batch usage is only tens of meters or even several meters, and most of them are purchased by the market. The quality of leather purchased from the market is mixed, and the potential risk is high. Phthalates plasticizers are not excluded.
To this end, the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau reminded relevant companies and business units to use artificial leather fabrics with caution when producing and exporting European plush toys. It is necessary to strengthen the testing of phthalate esters to ensure that the indicators do not exceed the standards; Measures to shut down the good materials and timely communicate with suppliers to ensure the smooth export of products.
