Furniture spot checks on some panel furniture in Shandong are unqualified

In a recent inspection conducted by the Shandong Provincial Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau, several furniture brands were found to be non-compliant with safety standards. The inspection focused on panel furniture products from 30 different manufacturers across the province. Among the brands checked were Grant's, Dragon, and others, with three specific models failing to meet the required criteria. The test results revealed that these products exceeded the allowable levels of formaldehyde emissions, which can pose serious health risks if inhaled over long periods. In addition, some of the furniture items had incorrect or incomplete user instructions, which could lead to improper usage and potential safety hazards. The inspection was carried out based on several key standards, including GB18584-2001, GB5296.6-2004, and GB/T3324-2008. These regulations set strict guidelines for the materials used, labeling, and overall quality of wooden furniture. The tests covered various aspects such as mechanical strength, surface durability, label consistency, and most importantly, formaldehyde emission levels. Among the non-compliant products were a model of panel furniture from Ge's Aote Furniture Factory in Licheng District, Jinan City, measuring 450 × 440 × 400 mm; a product from Feilong Education Equipment Co., Ltd., sized 1100 × 400 × 650 mm; and another from Long Furniture Factory in Dongchangfu District, Liaocheng, with dimensions of 510 × 410 × 500 mm. All of these failed to meet the required standards. The main issues identified were excessive formaldehyde emissions and improper or missing user instructions. These findings highlight the importance of strict compliance with safety regulations in the furniture industry. Consumers are advised to be cautious when purchasing furniture and to look for products that have been tested and certified for safety. It is also recommended to choose reputable brands and ensure that all necessary information is clearly provided with the product.
