Recently, the EU's non-food consumer product rapid alert system (RAPEX) has issued three consumer warnings to Chinese-made children's clothing, including baby sweaters, children's suits and girls' dresses. The reason for the notification is that ornamental beads or stones may fall off, and children who eat inadvertently can cause suffocation, all of which do not meet the requirements of the EU REACH regulations and have taken measures to withdraw from the market and recall from consumers.

In recent years, international children's wear has been notified of the recall due to the unreasonable design of jewelry and small parts and unqualified safety items. Children's clothing accessories, small parts and other safety features have become increasingly concerned about quality and safety issues in Europe and the United States and other countries have strengthened the formulation of relevant standards.

The United States ASTM F1816 and the European Union EN 14682 standard have stringent requirements for children's wear on ropes, small parts and even packaging. EU Directive 2005/84/EC and the United States CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) have strict requirements on small parts and accessories for children's products, which directly affects the export of more children's clothing products with accessory parts.

In 2009, China also formally implemented three national standards for children's clothing that focus on the safety performance of small clothing components, namely "Safety requirements for children's clothing ropes and drawstrings," "Safety specifications for children's tops and drawstrings," and "Improvement of mechanical safety." Children's Apparel Design and Production Practices. In June 2016, China's first "Technical Code for the Safety of Textile Products for Infants and Children" was formally implemented. According to this standard, children's wear accessories such as bows, straps, and pull strings, which may harm children's safety, have also become contraband.

In recent years, Europe and the United States have adopted increasingly stringent safety standards for imported children’s clothing, and China’s children’s clothing exports are facing greater challenges. Domestic children's clothing manufacturing enterprises have only paid insufficient attention to “safety performance”, only knowing that they are producing according to customer requirements, lacking necessary understanding of foreign technical regulations, and lacking sufficient identification ability for conformity of apparel design schemes with standards and regulations.

Children's wear, especially in knitwear, uses more accessories such as straps, rhinestones, and beads to pursue better style effects, while “small accessories” are often sourced from complex and mostly outsourced purchases, which present potential safety hazards. In addition, relative to woven garments, knitted garments are often used in children's clothing production because of the particularity of their fabrics. Because the style is relatively simple, water beads, sequins, and other small accessories are more common in the finished products. Increased export risk of related products, leading to frequent notification of the recall incident.

To this end, the inspection and quarantine department reminds relevant companies to do the following: First, to learn more about the requirements of European and American safety items on children's clothing accessories and small parts, strictly in accordance with the requirements of foreign standards to organize production, and effectively improve the export of children's clothing production. Management level; second is to improve the terms of the contract as much as possible, if there are design defects in the samples sent by foreign customers, the design department should communicate with foreign customers to find problems, modify the samples, do not accept defective designs, and avoid return shipping claims; Should strengthen the product design and development of safety project review, the first product of the safety project inspection, sent to qualified laboratories to carry out related safety items of clothing testing, enhance the company's self-inspection and self-control ability, effectively avoid risks.
