In 2011, the "Da Vinci Incident" made the quality of furniture a doubt in the hearts of consumers. On March 7, the reporter learned from the Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau that the recent special supervision and spot check showed that the overall quality of the province's furniture has risen steadily in the past two years. The main problem of unqualified products is that the formaldehyde emission exceeds the standard and the wood moisture content is high. , wood-based panels are not sealed. The reporter then learned from the Provincial Consumer Council that complaints about furniture quality problems have declined in the past two years.

The pass rate increased by nearly 20%, and the formaldehyde exceeded the standard.
The “good furniture made in Chengdu†quality improvement campaign began in Chengdu last year. Chengdu Quality Supervision Bureau conducted special supervision and inspection on furniture and wood-based panels, paints and coatings, adhesives and other related products produced in Chengdu, with a pass rate of 92.6%, an increase of 19.3 percentage points over the same period in 2010. Among them, the phenomenon of excessive toxic and harmful substances such as formaldehyde has been effectively curbed, and the amount of formaldehyde released from the batch of artificial boards has exceeded the standard.
At present, there are 1,314 furniture enterprises in Sichuan Province (excluding workshop-type enterprises), but the overall scale of furniture enterprises is small, and 89% of enterprises have an annual output value of less than 5 million yuan. Most companies do not have independent design capabilities and quality control methods. Some enterprises maliciously reduce production costs and use inferior raw and auxiliary materials in the production process, which damages the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. Some small furniture workshops without business licenses and large liquidity, made with fake materials, sold at the price of famous brands, seriously hurt the health of consumers.
Suggest
Increase supervision and spot checks to introduce market segmentation standards
How to further improve the quality of furniture? Some consumers have suggested that governments at all levels should strengthen the supervision of furniture manufacturing enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, and increase the frequency and intensity of random inspections. "I hope that the government will introduce a policy to implement product recalls on problem furniture. At the same time, it will ban two unqualified companies from sampling, and fundamentally prevent unqualified products from entering the market." Chengdu consumer Li Wei said.
Industry insiders suggest that the government should formulate preferential policies, support technological transformation of large and medium-sized enterprises, encourage furniture enterprises to enter the park, promote the intensive development of furniture enterprises step by step, and promote the improvement of the technological level of furniture enterprises. Some consumers also pointed out that the domestic children's furniture production industry can only use the standard of adult furniture because of the lack of special production standards. "Some parents pay attention to whether the formaldehyde content of furniture exceeds the standard, but few parents notice that it is harmful to children. For serious heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, it is recommended to introduce production standards for children's furniture."
