    Consumer Council tests 25 baby diaper samples: two samples leaked at the sides, one sample's rewet amount exceeded the standard limit

    The Consumer Council tested 25 samples of baby diapers, nappies and night-time diapers or pants on the market. All samples met satisfactory hygiene standards and complied with the Mainland chemical safety standards, but two samples leaked at the sides during the tilting test and failed to meet the standard requirements. The average price per piece of the samples ranged from 1.5 dollars to 7.6 dollars. Among them, one sample's average rewet amount reached 22.5 grams, exceeding the standard upper limit of 15 grams. The relevant agent stated that the two products would be discontinued and replaced by a new series.

    Why read this: The article lists the price range per piece and the standard upper limit for rewet amount, making it convenient for parents to check whether the diapers they are currently using also exceed the standard.
