Consumer Council: Volatile substance content in 7 silicone spoons exceeds new regulations, urges manufacturers to improve production processes

The Consumer Council tested 17 spoons claimed to be for elderly use with reference to mainland standards. All 7 silicone samples were found to contain volatile substances above the standard limit, while plastic and metal samples performed well. As the standard referenced during testing had not yet come into effect, the Consumer Council urged manufacturers to improve their production processes in line with the new requirements. Some manufacturers said they had already removed the relevant silicone spoons from sale. Original: https://news.mingpao.com/ins/%e6%b8%af%e8%81%9e/article/20261008/s00001/1791451121780/
