Crawling mats for youngsters fail tests
Print Edition
ABOUT a third of crawling mats for children inspected by the city’s quality watchdog posed “severe safety hazards.”
The Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Administrative Bureau checked 49 batches of crawling mats sold at eight supermarkets, three shopping malls and four markets, and found 17 of them to be substandard, officials said yesterday
They failed tests for containing unapproved content or faulty packaging.
The substandard rate of mats sold at supermarkets were sold at outlets of supermarkets that included Wal-Mart, CenturyMart, Tesco and Carrefour. All four have been ordered to take such mats off their shelves and refund consumers.
A batch of EVA mats sold at the Zhenbei outlet of Tesco and a batch of children’s mats sold at the Gongjiang outlet of Carrefour that failed tests were made by Hewang Rubber Product Co Ltd in south China’s Guangdong Province and Xinqisheng Plastic and Rubber Product Factory in east China’s Shandong Province.
The bureau also said the Baoshan outlet of Wal-Mart and the Changning outlet of CenturyMart had sold faulty mats.
