In January 2025, there were a total of 36 recalls of textile, footwear, and accessory products in the markets of the United States, Canada, the European Union, and Australia, of which 20 were related to China.


11 physical recalls in the EU market:


Six cases involve injury risks, and the specific cases are as follows:

Four cases involve children's short skirts, bikinis, and pants with unreasonable rope designs, which may cause children to get stuck during activities and pose a risk of injury;

One example is that the structural strength layer of a motorcycle hoodie lacks structural integrity and protective ability, and once it falls, the rider may be injured;

One example is that the child armchair is not stable enough, which may cause the child to fall and get injured when sitting.

One example is a cushion tied with a long red scarf, which may cause children to be caught by the scarf during various activities, leading to the risk of strangulation;

Two examples are children's suits and children's sports shirts with functional straps on the neck, which may cause children to get stuck in the ropes during various activities, posing a risk of strangulation or injury;

Two examples are cushions and children's shoes, which contain small parts that are prone to falling off. Children may put them in their mouths and pose a risk of suffocation.

18 chemical recalls in the EU market:


The reasons are all due to non-compliance with REACH regulations, with one case also violating the Toy Safety Directive, and two cases simultaneously violating European standards EN 18219-1, EN 18219-2, and EN 14389. The details are as follows:


Five cases were found to have excessive cadmium content in necklaces, rings, and bracelets. Cadmium is harmful to health. It accumulates in the human body, can damage the kidneys and bones, and lead to cancer;

Nine cases were found to contain excessive amounts of phthalates in rain boots, plush toys, pencil cases, shower caps, children's sandals, earrings, and children's boots. These phthalates may harm human health, causing damage to the reproductive system and liver. In addition, two children's sandals in the case also contained excessive cadmium, and one of them also contained excessive lead; There were also 2 cases of children's boots containing excessive short chain chlorinated paraffins. Short chain chlorinated paraffins persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations, and bioaccumulate in wildlife and humans, posing risks to human health and the environment. Long term exposure to short chain chlorinated paraffins on the skin may cause cancer;

One example is excessive lead migration in the surface material of children's sandals. Lead is harmful to human health and can accumulate in the body, leading to developmental neurotoxicity and potentially affecting breastfed children; In addition, the plastic material of this product also contains excessive amounts of phthalates;

Three cases have high nickel release rates for bracelets and earrings. Nickel is a strong sensitizer, and if nickel in an item comes into direct contact with the skin for a long time, it can cause allergic reactions.

Four physical recalls in the US market:


Three cases involved children's sleepwear sets and skirts, children's holiday sleepwear sets, and girls' sleepwear sets that violated the flammability standards for children's sleepwear, posing a risk of burns to children;

One example is that the roller blind curtain has a long operating rope, which poses a risk of strangulation and entanglement to children and violates federal curtain regulations; In addition, these roller blinds also violate the labeling requirements for curtains.

There is one chemical recall in the US market, as the lead content in children's jewelry sets exceeds the federal lead content ban, and the cadmium content also exceeds the Federal Hazardous Substances Act's prohibition on use in children's products. Children's intake of lead and cadmium can cause poisoning and have adverse effects on their health.


There is one physical recall in the Canadian market for children's sleepwear sets and skirts that do not meet the flammability standards for children's sleepwear, posing a risk of burns to children.


There are no chemical recalls in the Canadian market.


One physical recall case in the Australian market, due to Pop up mini beach tents not meeting mandatory standards for portable swimming pools; In addition, the product does not come with the prescribed warning signs, which may pose a risk of serious injury or death due to drowning.


There are no chemical recalls in the Australian market.
