[Playmat/Playmat] The epidemic in Hong Kong has been repeated, and children cannot go to the park to play, and the home has become a place for them to "discharge".
The Consumer Council tested 20 models of children's foam rubber floor mats on the market, and found that 6 models of materials were damaged after torsion and tensile tests, and components fell off, increasing the risk of accidental swallowing and suffocation by young children, including the splicing of Xinjiahong and JapanHome carpet.
In addition, the reproductive toxic substance formamide in 6 notebooks exceeded the EU standard. Among them, JapanHome made the list again. The content of related substances in its 9 color foam materials ranges from 1,400mg/kg to 2,000mg/kg, which is 9 times higher than the upper limit.
The two samples with the worst overall performance are Xinjiahong and JapanHome's floor mats, both of which are made in China, with a total score of only 1.5 points.
The Council purchased 20 samples of foam floor mats from stationery stores, household goods stores, baby products stores, toy retail stores, department stores and online platforms, including 11 spliced floor mats, 6 rolled floor mats, and 3 The models can be converted into floor mats, priced from 12 yuan to 1,199 yuan.
After testing, it was found that there are 6 samples with components falling off to form small parts, which do not meet European standards, including 5 spliced floor mats Daiso, Cutezone C&Z, Topvalu, Xinjiahong, JapanHome and L!LFANT, which is a rolled floor mat.
Among them, the samples of Topvalu and Xin Jiahong were damaged and small parts were produced under lower tension.

In addition, although there are no small parts of the foldable floor mat Caraz, the average thickness of the attached plastic bag is 0.036 mm, which is less than the standard requirement of 0.038 mm or more. If the baby accidentally puts the plastic bag on the head to cover the mouth and nose, It may cause suffocation, so it does not meet European standards.
Formamide is a reproductive toxic substance, and the content of 6 game pads exceeds the upper limit of EU regulations
As for harmful substances, the Consumer Council has tested the reproductive toxic substance formamide. Except for the foam material of the Ikea floor mats, which cannot be tested due to being wrapped by other materials, 15 of the remaining samples were found to be related substances. , most of the content is lower than 200mg/kg.
Only 6 samples exceeded the EU's upper limit, including Fulis, Daiso, Cutezone C&Z, Topvalu, JapanHome and Baby Care. The detected formamide content reached 200 mg to 2,000 mg per kilogram, exceeding the EU's upper limit. The 9 color foam materials of the puzzle floor mat JapanHome were the most serious, with formamide content ranging from 14,000 mg per kilogram to a maximum of 2,000 mg per kilogram, which exceeded the upper limit by a maximum of 9 times.
4 game pads have no formamide detected
It is worth mentioning that none of the samples from Nido.Nido, Dwinguler, Domyos and Caraz could detect formamide, and they all scored the highest 5 points in this link.

The Consumer Council pointed out that there is scientific evidence in animal tests that long-term exposure to formamide may cause harm to the unborn fetus, including moderate irritation to the skin and mucous membranes.
At present, in addition to the EU's restrictions on the content of formamide, Shenzhen and Taiwan also limit the formamide content of children's plastic floor mats or spliced children's plastic floor mats to no more than 200mg/kg. On the other hand, Hong Kong has no relevant requirements. It is recommended that the government can refer to the above Regulations introducing limits on the content of formamide in children's floor mats.
3M floor mats contain harmful chemicals polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons but the content does not exceed the requirements set by Germany
Another harmful chemical substance polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) commonly found in plastics, the test found that naphthalene (naphthalene) was detected in the material of 3M floor mat, and the content was 0.2mg/kg, while the sample of Dwinguler was in the surface layer and foam rubber. The contents of the detected related materials were 0.64mg/kg and 0.27mg/kg, which were both lower than the limits set by Germany.
In Ikea's samples, anthracene and fluoranthene were detected, the sum of which was lower than the relevant limit of 1 mg/kg in Germany.
The remaining 17 samples were not detected with the 15 PAHs detected.
