Warning! 5-year-old child suddenly gets asthma, mother just finds out there’s a “formaldehyde nest” on the bed, silently corroding health and possibly leading to cancer
A story shared on the SOHA News website abroad, a woman shared the experience of someone close to her, saying that last year, her close friend’s 5-year-old daughter suddenly developed asthma. In the end, it was discovered that the cause was a “doll” that the child slept hugging every night.
The health hazards to those close to her made her want to tell others to warn everyone. She also compiled 4 things on her bed that may hide or accumulate formaldehyde, causing harm to the user without realizing it. Importantly, it also increases the risk of serious diseases such as cancer.
Low quality teddy bear
Cheap teddy bears may be full of formaldehyde and are a breeding ground for germs, including dust mites. If they are not cleaned often, more dust will accumulate, which will continue to damage our health.
In 2024, an investigation in China found that stuffed animals in wholesale markets contained 16 times more formaldehyde than allowed levels. The stuffing was full of used medical bandages. Importantly, this was just one of the many shipments intercepted by the investigation team. There are many more cheap and low-quality teddy bears on the market.
Cheap bed sheets and pillowcases
Cheaper sheets are often made from recycled materials and chemicals that contain more formaldehyde than safe. Such as recycled medical fabrics, industrial dyes, and formaldehyde glue. When combined, they are like a “bomb” that sits in our beds and touches our bodies every night.
Chinese news website Toutiao reported that a mother in Jiangsu Province bought a cheap set of bedding, which looked very cute. However, after using it for a while, her skin developed a rash. In the end, tests showed that the formaldehyde content in the bedding was 47 times higher than the safe level.
Therefore, it is recommended not to sleep on dubious cheap sheets, especially if used with young children. Always remember to choose only products that are certified for children.
Fake latex pillow
80% of cheap “natural latex pillows” on the โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที market are fake. The factories use synthetic rubber from shoe soles, talcum powder, and formaldehyde glue, which can cause allergies or breathing difficulties. Therefore, when choosing a pillow, you should initially test the pillow’s elasticity and smell to be sure.
Don’t skip buying a pillow because we spend a third of our lives sleeping. A low-quality pillow not only causes poor sleep and improper posture. But also has a negative effect on the skin on your face and respiratory system.
Low quality mattress
Many cheap mattresses advertised as imported from overseas are often made from materials that contain formaldehyde or have manufacturing processes that use chemicals such as recycled foam and fire retardants. Which are a “full-blown toxic gas combo” that poses long-term health risks to those who come into direct contact with them.
In the past, there was a case of a young couple in Guangdong who tried to have a child for 3 years but failed. In the end, it was found that the main reason was that the mattress contained too much formaldehyde. Therefore, it is recommended to check the formaldehyde test report of the product, and if there is a strange smell or eye irritation, it is best to avoid buying it immediately.
