"Hundreds of drugs do not invade" - the temptation of brand promotion

In recent days, there have been reports of poisonous branded clothing. The report of the investigation of toxic and hazardous substances in clothing branded by global environmental protection organization Greenpeace pointed out that Li Ning, Nike, Septwolves, Uniqlo, Converse and many others are well-known. The brand's clothing contains the toxic substance nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPE). The hormone may cause precocious puberty, and to a certain extent will inhibit the development of male signs.

Modern people pay attention to health. When this report comes out, surely those branded clothing stores will suffer a cold encounter. However, the branded apparel that brand sports shops were exposed to is still selling hot, and it seems that it has not been affected by the “toxicity incident”. Almost all the involved brand stores are engaged in “market promotion”. The staff in the store said that they did not know the toxic content of the brand clothes, and the sales volume in the store was not affected. Consumers can't resist the temptation of price cuts for promotions, and they are rushing to “promotional prices”. Some consumers hold an indifferent attitude towards reports that have ** cards: Pork is poisonous, powdered milk is poisonous, and even clothes worn are poisonous. We have already “hundred of poisons do not invade”.

After the investigation report was issued, brand clothing manufacturers responded that the NPE content in their clothing was in compliance with relevant standards, and there was no such thing as “toxicity”. Some suppliers who know the news claimed that "toxicity incidents" are purely ****, and there is no quality problem for clothes. Once they are sold, they will not be returned. According to Professor Dong Yanming of Xiamen University's School of Materials: NPE itself is not a dangerous product, but under certain conditions, it will react to produce an endocrine disruptor. It is recommended that newly purchased clothes should be rinsed as far as possible to remove the additives in textile printing and dyeing.

Therefore, for the sake of our own health, we still listen to Professor Dong's suggestion. Don't rush to get your new clothes and rinse them before you wear them.
