Three points to note when purchasing sanitary products:
For disinfection product manufacturers whose products failed inspection, local health supervision institutions in our province have all made administrative penalties according to law. Many well-known brands' products were sampled, none of which had problems detected.
Relevant experts from the Provincial Health Supervision Bureau suggest that the general public should purchase paper tissues and other sanitary products from regular stores or supermarkets. At the same time, three points should be noted when selecting products.
Firstly, the product packaging should have the following marks: product name, main raw material name, health permit, production date, shelf life or expiry date, execution standard number (GB/T 8939-20089 GB/T 20808－2006 GB15979-2002), manufacturer’s name and address, etc.
Secondly, consumers should choose sanitary products with complete markings and check the production date and shelf life. Products beyond the shelf life should be avoided.
