Brand Recall Nike ADI "Hormone Door"

An environmental protection organization's latest disclosure report shows that both domestic and foreign famous brands such as Nike, ADI, Lining and other products all contain "environmental hormone". This hormone has negative effects on the biological development of human beings, and thus impede reproduction, development and other functions, and even lead to malignant tumor and biological extinction.


Many Chinese and foreign well-known brands detect NPE


In the survey, 78 samples were selected, and 28 samples were produced in China. Of them, 19 samples contained NPE, including 14 brands including Adidas, Lining, Nike, CalvinKlein, CONVERSE, G-StarRAW, H M, Kappa, crocodile, Abercombie Fitch, Puma, RalphLauren, UNIQLO and YOUNGOR.

Of the 19 samples containing NPE, the brands of NPE over 500 mg per kilogram include Lining, A F, Nike and YOUNGOR.

Among them, a AF denim shorts NPE content of up to 1100 mg / kg, Lining and YOUNGOR sportswear NPE content of 680 and 530 mg / kg, Nike two T shirt reached 810 and 660 mg / kg respectively.


According to Zhang Kai, the project director of the organization, from April 2011 to May, the group purchased 15 countries in China, Britain and Argentina.

Clothing brand

78 samples.

The group sent these samples to a qualified third party Laboratory for testing. The results showed that samples of 2/3, including Adidas and Lining, were detected to contain NPE.

NPE is often used as a surfactant in textile production. It is rapidly decomposed into nonylphenol (NP) when discharged into the environment.

NP is a recognized environmental hormone, which simulates estrogen, has an effect on the sexual development of organisms, and interferes with the endocrine of organisms, and is toxic to reproductive system.


No recall of related brands


Shortly after the organization released the survey, Adidas group issued a statement on harmful substances in clothing. The statement said that 4 of the 9 Adidas products tested contained NPE, but Adidas insisted that the company had strictly adhered to the NPE concentration of 100ppm standard. This is the best measure implemented in the industry. Nike group also issued a statement that it will continue to work closely with relevant government departments to ensure that all products sold in China are fully in line with Chinese regulations and standards.

But there is no mention of the recall of NPE products.


Reporters visited the special brand and store in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, and found that no company has taken measures to recall related products so far.

According to the salesperson of the Nike special store of Zheng Jia friendship store, they have not received any notice about the hormone containing clothes, nor have they heard of which products should be disposed of.

Tianhe City crocodile store staff told reporters that consumers have not yet encountered to ask for returns, compensation, sales are normal.

The sales staff of Adidas counters said: "our company is a world-class sports brand, so many.

Star athlete

All wear, how can it be toxic?

If our products are not safe, I'm afraid the whole garment industry is not safe. "


But in the interview, a number of consumers said they had known and were concerned about the "NPE" problem and would not continue to buy related products until the result was clear.


Xiong Xiaokun, a light industry researcher at CIC, said: "this incident will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the brand image of these well-known enterprises. This negative effect will destroy the reputation of consumers to a certain extent, resulting in the loss of consumers. This will not only cause a very bad impact on the brand of enterprises, but also undermine the business performance of enterprises."


NPE has no national standard to follow.


Reporters learned that a paper published in Chinese Journal of Environmental Science pointed out that NPE can be rapidly decomposed into nonylphenol (NP) in water, NP can simulate estrogen, interfere with the endocrine of organisms, and is toxic to reproductive system.

Because of their safety, some countries and regions have banned them for 20 years.

According to media reports, Adidas responsible person said, NPE in the production process can not be completely eliminated.

If so, what is the safety value of NPE residual?

The reporter has learned from the public information that the EU has promulgated the REACH regulation in 2005, which prohibits the use of NPE and NP in the textile industry.

At the beginning of this year, the Chinese government also added NPE and NP to the catalogue of toxic chemicals that China strictly restricts import and export.

But up to now, our country has not worked out relevant standards.

That is to say, clothing companies have no basis even if they want to see if they are in line with domestic standards.

It can be seen from the above that the enterprise's commitment to "comply with Chinese laws and standards" does not explain its product safety.


Experts pointed out that the lack of NPE "GB", not only the use of enterprises has no basis, supervision and supervision is more impossible, so as to give some enterprises to provide edge ball, the opportunity to create pollution.

This will pose a threat to China's environment and public health.

Lacking NPE "GB", we need to criticize not only enterprises, China's lack of environmental protection concepts and actions, but also the responsibility of relevant departments in protecting people's health.

A chemical substance that interferes with the endocrine of organisms. These substances can mimic the body.

Natural hormone

The binding of hormones to hormones affects the amount of hormones in the body and makes the body produce a pition to the hormones in the body, which makes the endocrine system dysfunctional, thereby impeding the reproduction, development and other functions. It even causes cancer and biological extinction.
