Core Viewpoint - The Guangdong Provincial Market Supervision Administration has issued a consumer alert regarding children's plastic slippers, urging parents to enhance risk awareness when purchasing these products [1][2]. Group 1: Material and Safety Standards - The primary materials used in children's plastic slippers are polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). PVC requires plasticizers to improve softness and elasticity, with some manufacturers potentially using phthalate plasticizers that may exceed national safety limits (set at <0.1%) [1]. - The new mandatory national standard GB 30585—2024 for children's shoes will be implemented on June 1, 2025. This standard expands the scope of application, removes previous limitations, and strengthens safety requirements, including new limits for chlorophenol, short-chain chlorinated paraffins, hexavalent chromium, and heavy metals [1]. Group 2: Transition Period and Pricing Alerts - There will be a 12-month transition period for products produced or imported before June 1, 2025, allowing those that meet the old standard (GB 30585-2014) to remain on the market until May 31, 2026 [2]. - Special caution is advised for children's plastic slippers priced unusually low: EVA slippers priced below 11 yuan and PVC slippers priced below 7 yuan should raise red flags regarding quality and safety [2].
