A children's jacket from Temu contained 622 times the legal limit for phthalate plasticizers, a chemical compound that makes plastics more flexible, leading to serious health risks.
Phthalate-based plasticizers affect reproductive functions such as sperm count reduction and can cause infertility and even premature birth, according to an official from Seoul's environmental health team.
Lead and cadmium are both hazardous carcinogenic materials, with significant health concerns raised by ongoing investigations into children's clothing from Temu and AliExpress.
The government's study revealed that seven out of 26 pieces of children's winter wear were found to contain toxic substances, highlighting a critical safety issue.
