50% consumers do not know the formaldehyde in the mattress

Doubt that the newly bought mattress has excessive formaldehyde content, are you willing to spend money to do the destructive detection of the mattress? In the interview process, the reporter learned that some people in our city have done so. Consumer Mr. Liu last year bought a well-known brand mattress in Zhejiang, after moving into the new house, always feel that there is a smell in the bedroom, after a turn exclusivity test, and finally Mr. Liu determined that the newly bought mattress has formaldehyde exceeded the problem, and then Mr. Liu posted online to question the brand.

And the brand's attitude is also very tough, that their own mattress can not exceed the formaldehyde standard, requiring the consumer to give evidence. So, Mr. Liu directly put the mattress "carry" to the quality inspection department, at his own expense to test its formaldehyde content. Test results, this is a formaldehyde content is far lower than the national recommended standard of the mattress.

Perhaps, Mr. Liu's consumption experience is not universal, but at least most people at home when they smell a similar taste of formaldehyde, their hearts will be more or less pimple.

Reporters randomly surveyed "Do you know that the mattress will have formaldehyde?" Nearly half of the people said they knew, the other half said they did not know, of which only 3 people knew that mattress products would contain formaldehyde before watching CCTV's "Weekly Quality Report". "Huh? Formaldehyde in the mattress? Wouldn't that be drug smoke every day?" "Huh? Never know, it's terrible! Formaldehyde everywhere!" That's how most people react when they hear about formaldehyde in their mattresses.

Mattress brands avoid formaldehyde content

Different from consumers about the state of formaldehyde color change, brand mattresses rarely mention harmful substances in the promotion of the concept of health. China's brands, imported brands are the same, the vast majority of them in the mention of the concept of health, are only concerned about the mattress on the protection of the spine, the help of sleep, rarely mention the content of harmful substances.

"Do your mattresses contain formaldehyde?" Most mattress sellers who were asked denied it outright, saying that if they brought home a smell, it would be from plastic packaging. A shopping guide for a brand of brown mattress in the city directly told reporters that his mattress used natural latex, rather than glue containing formaldehyde.

There is no mandatory standard in China

Secretary General of Baijun River Harbin Furniture Industry Association

The current mattress industry "soft furniture spring mattress" and "soft furniture brown fiber elastic mattress" is recommended standards, which "soft furniture spring mattress" about the amount of formaldehyde release of the non-mandatory provisions: Formaldehyde release amount is less than or equal to 0.05mg/h. Mattress enterprises can refer to these two industry standards, but also can refer to other industry, local or enterprise own standards.

Although the state has no mandatory provisions on the amount of formaldehyde released by the mattress, the national quality law stipulates that unqualified products can not be sold, no matter what standard each enterprise executes, the products with excessive formaldehyde release must not be sold.

He said that most of the problem mattresses checked out in Beijing came from small enterprises and small workshops. The brand mattress sold in the regular market of our city is still more reliable, we did not find that brand enterprises have this situation in daily spot checks and tests, only very few products similar to small workshops will have the situation like CCTV exposure that formaldehyde exceeded the standard.

Formaldehyde exceeding the standard is mainly the formaldehyde content of filling materials and fabrics does not meet the standard, grasp the raw materials will not have a problem, like the formaldehyde of the palm mat is mainly the adhesive of the palm mat, the use of natural latex will not have this problem.
