chinese products - are you

The Mokopuna clothes are beautiful, but not sure many of us can afford to spend $50 on a pair of pants!

I just got this email from Just Kids - interesting, I hope the rest of the baby/kids stores do something similar. Awesome to see they had their stuff for this season tested, although I'd be interested to see whether they do it every season from now on, or just while it's a hot media topic.


Formaldehyde Update
Following our website release last month, Just Kids is able to report that formaldehyde testing has now been completed on the entire Summer Launch range of Just Kids’ clothing.

As a basic background, formaldehyde may be found in either bound or free states in fabrics. The free form of formaldehyde is considered to be potentially harmful. The “textile method” test ascertains the amount of free formaldehyde in fabric, and is used internationally.

Testing of the entire Summer Launch range of Just Kids’ clothing was carried out independently using the “textile method” of testing. All tests confirmed that Just Kids clothing does not contain any traceable levels of free formaldehyde.

These results reaffirm that the approach we are taking to ensure our customers receive quality clothing is working. The outcome of these tests will give you, as our customers, a sense of reassurance and security when purchasing clothing for your children. We see these tests as a very positive initiative and pledge to continue our longstanding commitment to the matter of safety standards in children’s clothing.
