Jiangsu News Weekly News: Recently, Ms. Jia, a citizen of Yantai, Shandong Province, told this newspaper that her father, who had been ill in bed for many years, had allergic red spots on both sides of the thigh root and itchy lower body because of using cheap and inferior diapers. Because the old man's sick tongue is not clear, it was not until recently that he accidentally discovered the abnormality when changing diapers for the old man, which made the old man endure the pain for four or five days. It's even worse.
Ms. Jia quickly drove her father to the city hospital for diagnosis, and the conclusion drawn from the doctor's consultation and diagnosis made Ms. Jia's heart mixed: all this was really the fault of low-priced and inferior diapers for the elderly.
"My father has been in bed for many years, and diapers are used a lot every day. Last week, I saw this cheap diaper on the Internet. I wanted to save money and bought a box, but I didn't expect it to bring illness to my father." Ms. Jia told reporters like this.
It turned out that Ms. Jia's father was incontinent and needed to wear adult diapers. Ms. Jia bought diapers and nursing pads of Tuaiqiu, Shupai and other brands from the Internet, and had nothing to do before. Recently, when she browsed online, she found that diapers in a store were more than half cheaper than brand diapers she had been buying before, and they could be mailed, and the sales volume was very good. She thought diapers were almost the same, so she ordered a box at once for the sake of cheapness. A few days later, when she changed her father's diaper, she accidentally found that his thigh root was red and swollen, and there were many scratches, so she hurriedly sent him to the hospital for examination.
According to the doctor's diagnosis, this is an allergy caused by skin contact with clothing or cloth containing complex substances. The chemical composition of some personal items exceeds the standard, such as formaldehyde, which is easy to cause harm to human body. The most famous one is formaldehyde, which can cause cancer besides acute eye diseases, cough, allergic rhinitis and other diseases.
Liu, director of the dermatology department of Yantai People's Hospital, explained that the immunity of the elderly declined, and their skin was similar to that of babies, so they were easily infected by external pollutants. Because adult diapers are worn close to the skin, there are quality problems, which can easily lead to skin diseases, allergies, itching, redness and even cancer.
Afterwards, Ms. Jia went online to find the store theory. The store did not admit that it was the problem of adult diapers, but said that it was the skin sensitivity of the elderly. Finally, she had to give Ms. Jia a refund. Ms. Jia said with a wry smile, "My father was already ill in bed, and it brought her so many days of harm. What's the use of returning this money to me?" I really hope that these unscrupulous businesses and manufacturers will not play with health. "
The reporter investigated online on the shopping platform and found that the market price difference between adult diapers and adult care pads in care products is very large. For example, the diapers bought by Ms. Jia are very cheap, accounting for only one piece in 0.9 yuan. In some stores, diapers and care pads are simply transparent bags, without any manufacturer information, and the prices are surprisingly low. After shipping in 12 yuan, 10 yuan and 9 yuan, the average price of each piece is less than that in 0.7 yuan, even lower. While the prices of some regular diapers and nursing pads are around a 1.5 yuan.
The reporter ordered diapers and nursing pads of different price grades from the Internet, and compared their quality. Expensive regular brand diapers are soft and delicate to the touch, without any roughness. The inner layer is extremely tough, and it feels very breathable. When the surface layer of diapers is torn, fluff pulp is pure white without stains, and when it is torn, it does not fly away at all, and the silk is slender. However, many cheap and inferior products don't feel good to the touch. They are not only soft, but also rough. The inner layer is also made of materials similar to the outer layer. When the surface layer is torn, some cotton wool will fly out immediately. The reporter saw that the inner core cotton wool is slightly dark in color and contains impurities.
However, there are also some cheap diapers and nursing pads, which are compared with the regular products bought before. There is little difference in appearance and color, only a slight difference in hand feel, but the price is about half cheaper. What is the difference between cheap diapers and regular diapers?
With questions, we came to Yantai Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau with Ms. Jia, and the relevant technicians of the Quality Supervision Bureau gave us a detailed explanation. Since 2001, there have been many black heart cotton incidents in China, and the focus interview has also made a special report on this, "The golden treasures are among them". Relevant personnel told us that there are some products with better technology in cheap diapers, and the main differences between them and regular diapers can't even be judged in appearance. Their biggest differences lie in two points.
First, the raw material is black-hearted wood pulp, that is, the used diapers which are recycled twice, and are recycled by crushing. There is little difference between the appearance of some inferior products and that of regular products, because the manufacturer has bleached and sieved the second recycled black-hearted wood pulp, which will make diapers and nursing pads look bright and clean in appearance, but the chemicals used in this process will cause harm to human body. All the production materials and processes do not meet the hygiene standards.
The second is to falsely report the polymer content. Diapers absorb urine mainly by the water-absorbing resin polymer contained in them, and the actual content of low-priced and inferior diapers often does not match the marked content. This leads to poor use effect, easy leakage of urine and poor water absorption effect.
The reason for the allergic redness of the elderly is probably that the inferior and low-priced diapers use recycled black cotton. Most of the discarded adult diapers and adult care pads are used by sick people, which are covered with germs, urine and dust. Black-heart factory recycles these diapers and nursing pads, mixes them and smashes them, and uses these black-heart wood pulp to produce low-priced and inferior diapers. Because of its complex ingredients, poor hygiene and quality, this kind of diapers can easily cause skin diseases, which can make patients ill.
The reporter contacted and interviewed Tuaiqiu Nursing Products Co., Ltd., a well-known manufacturer of adult diapers and nursing pads. Wang Kefeng, the relevant person in charge of Tuaiqiu, explained the production process and technology of adult diapers and nursing pads in detail. Many famous foreign brands are produced and processed from home. Our domestic regular adult diapers have reached the international level in terms of technology and materials, which does not need to worship foreign things and flatter foreign countries, and consumers can buy them with confidence. He also suggested that consumers should pay attention to the following points when choosing adult diapers and nursing pads:
1. When purchasing adult diapers, try to choose qualified and hygienic products from regular manufacturers, instead of cheap and inferior products, which may cause secondary injuries.
2. The adult care pad depends on its gram weight and whether the embossing is tight. Some manufacturers pursue a thick hand feel, and do not press tightly on embossing, which causes the internal fluff pulp to easily shift into lumps of cotton balls, and the slurry spreading is uneven.
