New regulations on cadmium limitation, including children's jewellery.


In these States, 3 states, including Connecticut, Illinois and Minnesota, have already set up a requirement that the content of soluble cadmium in children's jewelry should not exceed 0.0075%.

California, Florida, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island are currently considering similar legislation.


Cadmium is a carcinogen. According to the latest research results, cadmium, like lead, can affect the development of brain in children, especially infants. If children often suck and gnaw the children's products with high cadmium content, it will lead to cadmium inhalation.

Inspection and quarantine experts pointed out that so far, the cadmium limit has covered 1/5 states of the United States, and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission is drawing up mandatory standards. The pace of the US cadmium restriction is accelerating. It is expected that the products will also expand from children's jewelry to most of them.

Children's products


With the gradual increase of the share of children's products in the international market, children's products have gradually become a new growth point of foreign trade. The United States has also become one of the key markets for children's products enterprises to explore.

Inspection and quarantine experts pointed out that the United States cadmium restriction may have a greater impact on the export of children's products in China. We should attach great importance to it and focus on the following aspects:


First of all, targeted risk assessment and effective monitoring in the production process are critical to factory outsourcing.

Raw and auxiliary materials

We should check with the spare parts, especially sensitive materials and paint and ink materials, and rationally select low risk materials. Secondly, we should improve the ability of active response, and actively improve the new production processes such as electroplating or vacuum adsorption, so as to prevent the failure of the heavy metal safety indicators of children's products. Third, we should strengthen communication with importers, get timely local laws and regulations, standards and the latest market trends and consumer information, and make relevant tests to authoritative international credibility testing organizations, so that we can't have any luck psychology to avoid accidents such as being informed, returned and damaged by credit due to excessive cadmium.
