The original children’s clothing still smells after being washed three times

Binbin is one year and three months old. Binbin’s mother likes to buy equipment for her son online, ranging from safety seats and cribs to baby bottles, toys, clothes, bibs, etc.

"My favorite thing to buy for my son is the original item." Binbin's mother said that there are a lot of children's clothing made for foreign brands on the Internet. The store was sold at a fraction of the original price, "The original style is trendy and the quality is pretty good."

"As soon as I opened the package, there was an unpleasant smell of motor oil." Binbin's mother said that even though she washed the sweater three times, the smell was still there.

Tongtong is an 8-month-old little princess. Before she was born, her mother, who loves online shopping, bought a lot of children's clothing for her daughter online. But Tongtong's mother admitted that because she was a little worried about the quality of online clothes, she still bought her daughter's intimate clothes in physical stores.

The price of a set is about 40 yuan, several times cheaper than in the store, and the reviews from buyers are also very good. . After buying them home, Tongtong's mother washed the clothes and hung them to dry on the balcony.

How can children wear such products with confidence when their skin is so delicate? At this time, Tongtong’s mother took out some other clothes she bought online and looked at them. Nearly half of them didn’t have labels.

“I don’t know what materials are used, and I don’t know if the processing is formal.” Tongtong’s mother, who is scared, now buys clothes for her daughter in physical stores. Even if she buys online, she has to ask the store in advance. If there is no trademark, try to choose an online store with a big brand and high reputation.
