rates of chemicals found in some disposable infant diapers have dropped significantly since January 2019.
Rates of chemical substances contained in some disposable infant nappies have fallen significantly since the warning in January 2019, but “further improvements are expected for the three references”, the Fraud Enforcement Agency said on Thursday.
“No threshold has been exceeded, no health has been found,” said the DGCCRF, which depends on de Bercy, in a press release confirming Parisien’s information. “These findings confirm a clear improvement in the quality of references present on the market”.

“No allergen or pesticide residues were found. Reductions in dioxin and furan contamination, DL-PCBS (chlorinated compounds) and PAHS were also identified, showing no thresholds exceeded for these substances, according to the same source.
complementary improvement
This is a significant improvement from January 2019, when the sanitary safety agency Anses cited “risks” to the long-term health of babies due to the presence of chemicals in these protections, which led the government to demand that manufacturers take action.
“Additional improvements, however, are expected for the three references for which the measured formaldehyde content exceeds 10% of the health threshold,” ensures, however, the DGCCRF. “The situation is not a justification for ordering a recall of the product, but the operators concerned are requested to deepen within six months of their diagnosis”.

About formaldehyde, the Pampers Premium Protection, Marmailles More and Moina Zaza lines point the finger. The proportion of the first two is between 10 and 25% of this substance, while the same is between 25% and 50% for the third brand, which is sold exclusively in Mayotte and produced in China, according to The Parisian.
“The traces do not come from our layers but from the outside,” Antoine Giuntini, director of BabyCare at Pampers, defends himself in the diary. “Anses recognizes that for this type of trace it is very, very small, it is necessary to refine the analysis. The components can also be found in the air. There is a possible margin of error”.
“Products”
“Baby diaper manufacturers welcome the results of tests carried out by the DGCCRF, which confirm that baby diapers are safe products,” Group hygiene, the representative organization of coat manufacturers, responded in a press release at the time.
But the professional union of industrial hygiene “regrets that the presentation of the results created additional confusion.” “Even when the DGCCRF determines that there are no thresholds exceeded, health and declares that the layers it tested are safe, it communicates in parallel the results that take into account other exposure factors (environment, diet). These results cannot be used to assess the safety of the composition and product use,” he adds.
Only six references out of 32 guarantee a formaldehyde attendance rate of less than 10%. For 23 of them, Ručke cannot rule out an excess of more than 10%. Finally, five references are completely in green for eight families of chemical substances.

At the beginning of the year, Anses announced that in October 2020, it will propose to Europe a reduction in the number of chemicals present in the layers, especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS), dioxins, furans, PCBs and formaldehyde.
