BACKGROUND OF EXISTING FLAME RETARDANT FABRICS
Mandatory fabrics for US children’s sleepwear (2008, CPSIA enactment)
Germany and Europe prohibit the use of halogen-based flame retardants such as bromine that releases dioxin and hazardous gases (HCI, HBr) in the event of a fire.
“Bromine-based” flame retardant fabric burns dioxin and harmful substances.
Phosphorus (P) flame retardant is harmless to human body and environmentally friendly, but expensive.
Therefore only 10 ~ 20% customer choose this option and low-cost flame retarded products are still used in 80-90% of market.
[Flame Retardant fabric background]
Pb (lead) detection from 2007 Mattel toy, 1.5 million recalls
More than 3,300 Chinese toys are bankrupt, 57% are closed, 62-year-old Mattel image damaged
Increased interest in children’s products and the need for institutional changes to protect consumers → Establishment of the CPSIA Act
[Meaning of CPSIA]
Abbreviation for Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act.
Applied to consumer products, clothing (pajamas, etc.), toys and consumer goods for children under the age of 12 with the approval of the US Congress on August 15, 2008
Strengthen third-party certification to enforce unlimited liability from penalties and vaults when not attached.
