Today, as people continue to focus on enhancing their quality of life, the design and quality of home textiles have also seen significant improvements. However, with the growing demand and the massive consumer potential in the home textile market, some substandard products have started to appear. These items may look attractive at first glance, but after washing, they tend to fade or shrink quickly. Worse still, some fabrics contain harmful substances that can lead to skin allergies and other health issues. At the end of last year, the Beijing Industrial and Commercial Administration released the results of a quality inspection on bedding products in the market. One well-known brand was found to contain azo dyes that can release carcinogenic aromatic amines. This has raised serious concerns about product safety. According to reports, there are four major issues currently affecting home textile products. First, the actual composition of the fabric does not match the labeled content. Second, the color fastness is poor, leading to quick fading. Third, the pH level of the fabric is out of the acceptable range, which can irritate the skin. Lastly, certain ingredients are not suitable for use in clothing or bedding. During the production of textiles, various dyes, auxiliaries, and finishing agents are used. Some of these agents may contain harmful chemicals. Experts warn that human skin has a slightly acidic pH, and if the pH of the fabric exceeds the standard, it can disrupt the natural acid-base balance of the skin, damage the protective bacterial layer, and cause allergic reactions. In some cases, long-term exposure to certain chemical components may even increase the risk of cancer. To address these problems, stricter quality control measures are needed during the manufacturing process. Many of the issues stem from inadequate testing of raw materials and improper management of dyeing and finishing procedures. When substandard products reach the market, they can harm consumers’ rights and interests. If you come across such products, you can file a complaint with the relevant authorities or take legal action to protect your rights. It’s essential for both manufacturers and consumers to be more aware of textile safety standards to ensure healthier living environments.
