News: Fatal Incidents in Children's Clothes Drawstrings
In recent years, fatal cases of children wearing hoodies in China have also occurred from time to time. The deadly cases of children wearing hoodies reported by the media have been reported as follows:
In the afternoon of February 17, 2003, at the Jinghua Kindergarten in Zhengzhou City, when a small class child was playing on a slide, the left side of the collar was buckled, and the gap between the closed sliding slide and the slide was stuck, causing it to suffocate. ;
In January 2007, when a 4-year-old girl from a kindergarten in Guangxi was playing on a slide, the drawstring buttons on the clothes hat were caught in the slide gap and the rope caught her neck, causing suffocation.
On December 23, 2010, in Wenzhou Binhai Park, a nursery school in the Rising Sun Community was also hooked on a 4-year-old boy's jumper with a screw on a slide, causing it to suffocate;
On February 25, 2011, at the Qilishan Kindergarten in Shizhong District, Jinan City, a 5-year-old girl was caught in the slide on the slide when the girl was playing on the slide, causing the neck to be held up by the clothing. In time, the girl eventually died of suffocation;
In 2011, a 3-year-old boy from Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, died of suffocation because one end of the hat was stuck on a slide and one end was wrapped around the neck.
On November 5, 2012, a young child in Dongguan was strangled by a rope while sliding;
In September 2013, a 3-year-old boy from Taikang County, Henan was killed in a kindergarten slide and the culprit was a pull rope;
......
From January 1985 to June 1995, the Consumer Product Safety Commission of the United States received 12 reports of casualties. The children were strangled and strangled by playground equipment, escalators, etc. The relevant safety standards have been established.
Experiment: How hard is the cap rope pull collar?
How much tension does the hat rope pull the collar bring to the neck? Teacher Jiang Xiaolin from the Experimental Teaching Center at Tsinghua University conducted an experimental test. Professor Jiang used a load cell in a serial manner. One end was attached to the hoodie's cap rope, and the other end was followed by a rope and stuck in the gap in the slide. In order to measure the tension of the cap rope tension.
The experimental results show that after the simulated rope is suddenly stuck, the force on the rope is about 680 tons left and is equivalent to 70 kilograms, which is 5-6 times the weight of the child (dummy). The experiment was upgraded so that the children pushed hard behind the dummy and detected a force of 1300 IU on the rope, which was equivalent to a force of nearly 140 kilograms, which was about 10 times the weight of the child.
What will happen if such a large force momentarily reaches the child's neck? Pei Mingwei, director of orthopaedics at the Dongzhimen Hospital Affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said that this power is enough for a child to cause death. He explained that such a large force may cause spinal cord injury at that time. Spinal cord injury can cause paralysis of the respiratory muscles, and this type of injury often lasts long enough to cause cerebral hypoxia and brain death.
Legislation: Children's tops should not be pulled
According to relevant US regulations, children between the ages of 2 and 12 must not be allowed to pull on their tops, and the EU, Australia, and Canada have similar regulations.
China’s “Safety requirements for children's clothing ropes and drawstringsâ€, “Safety specifications for children's tops and drawstrings,†and “Code for the design and production of children's clothing for improving the safety of machinery†stipulate that clothing hoods and necks for children under 7 years of age must not be designed and produced. Or use pull cords and cords; children's 7-14 age clothing hoods and neck drawstrings must not have free ends, which means they cannot be loosened.
Reality: China has no mandatory standards
It is worth noting that even though China's standards refer to American ASTM standards and European Union's EN standards, it is only "recommendation" and there is no mandatory enforcement, and it is precisely because of this that the media has repeatedly exposed children's clothing ropes. The relevant agencies have also spot-checked and put forward risk warnings. Many companies still go their own way, and some companies have also returned their clothing according to this standard. In February of this year, the Wuhan City Bureau of Quality Supervision announced a risk warning. The bureau purchased 20 batches of children's clothes on the market and found that all the ropes were not in compliance. The RAPEX (European Non-edible Consumer Goods Rapid Alert System) notified by the European Union in September 12 of the shipments or recalls involved 79 products made in China, among which 34 cases involving asphyxiation or injury due to ropes on children’s clothing accounted for 34 cases. example.
