Is my product affected?

Skirt

  • Brand SSD SHUN SHI DA

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

A dark brown fully-lined skirt branded SSD SHUN SHI DA with embroidered flowers and beads has been recalled due to the presence of Hexavalent Chromium at levels between 2.4 to 19.2 mg/kg. This chemical concentration exceeds safety standards; the Oeko Tex Standard 100 requires total chromium content below 1 mg/kg for children's clothing and below 2 mg/kg for other clothing, with Chromium VI ideally undetectable. At levels above 5 mg/kg of Chromium VI, there is a serious risk of allergic contact dermatitis.

The authorities in Italy, where the product was identified, ordered seizure of the product from the economic operator. The source document does not specify what actions affected consumers should take regarding this recall.

Hazard

The product poses a chemical risk because it contains Hexavalent Chromium, in concentrations varying from 2.4 to 19.2 mg/kg. Given that Oeko Tex Standard 100 states that, to ensure optimum quality, total chromium content should be less than 1 mg/kg for children’s clothing and less than 2 mg/kg for all other clothing, regardless of whether it is in contact with the skin, and that Chromium VI should actually be below the detection threshold, a limit of 5 mg/kg of Chromium VI is a practical threshold beyond which there is a serious risk of allergic contact dermatitis.
