In recent years, with the significant improvement of people's living standards, the children's industry that targets children has also developed rapidly. In particular, the full opening up and implementation of the "two-child policy" have opened up a huge market demand for the development of the children's industry. But on the other hand, due to the increase in market share, commercial competition among various children's products has intensified, and the resulting safety issues have also become prohibited phenomena.

Recently, the Shanghai Municipal Market Supervision Bureau conducted two attraction inspections on children's products sold on major domestic e-commerce platforms such as Tmall and JD.com. The inspection results showed that in the first 25 batches of children's furniture inspections, 72% of the furniture samples were unqualified. The unqualified items included edges and front ends, holes and gaps, static load tests on pedestals, and warning signs. In the second inspection of 30 batches of cribs, the unsuitability rate also reached 46.7%. The unsuitable items included 7 items including structural requirements, top plate requirements, side plate bending tests and instructions for use.

It is undeniable that the consumption of e-commerce now accounts for an important proportion of the total consumption pattern of Chinese people. Compared with online purchases, online consumption is a buying method that lacks tactile and intuitive visual perception. Supervision and management is difficult. Therefore, consumers can only expect the honesty of various merchants. If they buy fake, defective, or inferior products, In most cases, you will consider yourself unlucky.

Unlike adults, children's physical and mental systems are more fragile, so the safety standards for furniture products are also higher. At this stage, China’s technical and safety standards for children’s furniture are mainly the "General Technical Requirements for Children’s Furniture" jointly issued by the Quality Supervision Bureau and the National Standards Committee in 2012. The standards are the deviation of children’s furniture dimensions, appearance, physical and chemical properties, and structural safety. Requirements, limit of hazardous substances, flame retardant performance, warning signs and test

To ensure the safety and compliance of children's products such as children's furniture, strict management by market supervision and management departments and law enforcement agencies is indispensable. In addition to the attraction inspection after the online sales of children's furniture goes on the market, it is more important to control from the source, strengthen supervision and management, and block substandard products from the market. Through the use of various penalties, the illegal cost of lawbreakers has been increased. For the EC platform, it is necessary to evaluate and review the qualifications and credit of the entrants, increase the entry threshold of the merchants, and eliminate the potential safety hazards of children's furniture.

In terms of safety management, relevant departments and institutions can monitor and analyze children's furniture through scientific instruments and equipment. For example, use precision distance measuring instruments to measure the protrusions, holes and gaps of furniture products to determine whether they meet the benchmark requirements. Use various testing machines to test the physical and chemical properties of children's furniture such as mechanical properties, flame-retardant properties, heat and humidity resistance, abrasion resistance, and hardness. Use formaldehyde detectors and harmful gas analyzers to analyze harmful chemical substances released by children's furniture products.

Compared with adults, children’s self-protection ability and awareness are lower, parents should pay more attention when buying furniture for their children, try to choose regular brand products online, and pay attention to whether the product introduction mentions the implementation of the country’s mandatory standards, and avoid Substandard furniture harms the safety and health of children.
