According to CCTV news, recently, Jiangsu Provincial Market Supervision Administration found that some socks not only had excessive formaldehyde content, but also some decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes.

experts said that, for example, among the four batches sampled on a live broadcast platform, one of them had an excessive content of decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes. This kind of substance is difficult to clean. Consumers may enter the human body through the skin, respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract during wearing, and may cause cancer after enrichment.

as can be seen from the test report, the relevant national mandatory standards stipulate that the decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dye should not exceed 2mg/kg. This sock purchased from the live broadcast platform can decompose carcinogenic aromatic amine dye up to 71mg/kg.

among the 16 batches of unqualified socks tested, there are two indicators of the "Yifuxuan" brand cotton socks produced by "Liaoyang Xinxing Knitting Factory", including fiber content and decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes.

"Jindu Mingpai" brand socks labeled as "Jinhua Mingpai Knitwear Co., Ltd." have unqualified items such as fiber content and formaldehyde. The socks produced by these two brands are also the samples with the most unqualified items in this sampling.

when combing the results of spot checks, it was found that the unqualified rate of e-commerce and live broadcast platforms was significantly higher than that of production enterprises and physical stores. Statistics show that 6 of the 2 batches of samples purchased by e-commerce and live broadcast platforms were unqualified, and the unqualified rate reached 3%.

an e-commerce platform sells a pure cotton sock for men and women at a price of 25.8 yuan 6 Shuang Yi boxes, but the fiber content is unqualified. Among them, the cotton content is only 4.9%, the polyester fiber content is 56.3%, and the viscose fiber content is 35.3%, which means that the cotton content of this sock is less than 5%, and more than 9% are chemical fiber materials.

Precautions for buying socks

1. Choose a good texture. Socks are like underwear. Socks made of different textures have different feelings and prices.

2. When buying socks, be sure to buy socks that fit your feet. If you buy socks that are too small, your feet will feel very tight and you will be uncomfortable when you walk. If you walk in oversized socks, you are likely to fall. When you wear socks, you must be very slow. You can't be too impatient. Wearing socks too impatient is likely to damage socks.
