- Pyjamas safe: New Zealand ruling
Date: 31-Aug-2007 Sources: (Xinhua Online)
THE Chinese Government Thursday welcomed the results of a New Zealand investigation into the safety of Chinese-made children's pyjamas, saying it was committed to addressing consumer concerns around the world.
Last week, New Zealand launched an investigation into the safety of imported clothing after a local television program found woollen and cotton fabrics from China containing levels of formaldehyde up to 900 times the safety limit set by the World Health Organization.
A separate investigation conducted by the New Zealand Government into the safety of Chinese-made pyjamas found no violation of standards. The probe was launched after two boys suffered minor burns when their pyjamas caught fire.
Wang Xinpei, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce, said China had closely followed the widely reported accident and welcomed the conclusion of the New Zealand investigation that the pyjamas met safety standards.
'The Chinese Government will be responsible for consumers around the world and will never try to shy away from any spotted problems,'said Wang.
