1Shanghai: Student of 21 primary and middle school have been ordered to stop wearing their uniforms on Monday after detection of toxic dyes in their garment.
Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision in a recent quality inspection campaign detected aromatic amine dye, which can cause cancer. The uniforms produced in July 2012.
Six batches of the company's clothes products were substandard, said the city's quality watchdog. The company has been one of a number of producers of school uniforms in Shanghai for five years.
Education authorities in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai, in a statement, said they have demanded that the 21 schools who had purchased uniforms from Ouxia tell students to stop wearing the clothes, which require quality examination.
The company, which has stopped production, sold 15,000 school uniforms annually.
