上海“毒校服”事件发酵 21所中小学停穿校服

上海学校学生服被检出含有致癌物，17日深夜11时，涉事的校服生产企业所在的浦东新区通过其官方微薄称，质监部门已立案调查，教育部门已要求采购该公司产品的21所学校学生暂停穿着学生服。

Shanghai (CNS) -- Shanghai's product quality watchdog has launched an investigation into a problematic garment maker, ordering it to halt production of some potentially harmful clothing items, the Pudong district government said on its microblog Sunday.

Six out of 22 batches of school uniforms examined by the Shanghai Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision failed tests for fiber content or toxic substances.

Uniforms produced by the Shanghai Ouxia Clothing Company Ltd, a small factory in Pudong, were found to contain banned dyes containing aromatic amines, which could lead to cancer, the bureau said.

Students at 21 schools that purchased uniforms from Ouxia Clothing Company have been ordered to stop wearing the uniforms.

The bureau released the names of the 21 schools this morning.
