On August 6, 2010, the EU's non-food product rapid alert system issued a new notification. It revealed that women's boots manufactured in China contained 120mg/kg of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) in their inner lining, which violated the European Commission’s strict regulations prohibiting any products with DMF. As a result, the affected items were required to be removed from the market and recalled.
Experts from PONY Test emphasized that DMF poses significant health risks, including skin irritation and respiratory issues. In response, both the EU and the U.S. have implemented stringent regulations to protect consumers. These include the EU’s DMF regulation (2009/251/EC), REACH legislation, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), and the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. These standards aim to ensure that products are safe for use and reduce potential harm.
As footwear and leather goods remain a major export category for China, industry experts urge manufacturers to stay informed about the ever-evolving regulations imposed by European and American markets. Keeping up with these changes is crucial not only for compliance but also for maintaining competitiveness and boosting export volumes. Staying proactive in understanding and adapting to these requirements can help Chinese producers avoid costly recalls and build stronger international trust.
