Swimming ring is not the same as lifebuoy. People should be

In hot summer, many citizens choose swimming as a way to cool off the heat.

The reporter found that many swimming pools in the urban area and the swimming pools of fitness clubs in the community are full of people, and many citizens and children who can't swim like to bring a swimming ring to ensure safety. However, in the process of swimming, the swimming ring breaks from time to time, and many swimming rings sold in the market are "three noes" products.

There are many kinds of swimming rings, mostly "three noes" products.

On the 15th, the reporter visited and found that many sporting goods stores, baby goods stores and bathing suit shops in urban areas were full of swimming circles of various specifications.

In a swimsuit shop in downtown Holiday Plaza, the reporter saw that swimming rings of various colors and specifications were strung together and hung in a conspicuous position in the shop, ranging from baby swimming rings of more than ten months old to adult swimming rings.

These swimming rings have product labels, which indicate the manufacturer's information, product specifications, safe service life and so on. In the eye-catching place of the circle, the warning sign of "non-life-saving tools, please watch and use by parents" is also marked. However, although these swimming rings are marked with information such as manufacturer and address, nearly half of the products have no 3C certification mark.

Subsequently, the reporter visited some shops in the urban area and found that many jewelry stores and lattice shop were selling swimming rings, with prices ranging from 10 yuan to 30 yuan.

The reporter picked up several swimming rings and found that although safety tips were also marked on them, the manufacturer, production date and other information were not found. When the reporter asked about the outer packaging, the shopkeeper said, "How can there be an outer packaging for something worth tens of dollars?"

During the interview, most citizens said that they would not pay attention to the label notes on the swimming ring, as long as the swimming ring did not leak air.

On Taobao. com, the reporter saw that both styles and prices of swimming rings are dazzling. Only 8.5 yuan is needed , while expensive ones are sold for several hundred yuan. However, in the product descriptions of some swimming rings, except for the material of swimming rings, there is no information about the manufacturer and production date at all.

Swimming ring is not equal to life buoy.

It is understood that the swimming ring is a kind of inflatable toys on water. According to the Regulations on the Administration of Compulsory Product Certification, toys need to obtain 3C certification. According to "Product Quality Law of the People's Republic of China", products sold must have Chinese factory name, Chinese address, telephone number, license number, production date, Chinese product manual, etc., otherwise they are regarded as unqualified products.

"Although many people confuse swimming rings with lifebuoys, in fact, they are two different products." A swimming coach of a swimming pool in an urban area, who asked not to be named, said that the swimming ring is a water toy, which can only play an auxiliary or protective role, and it is dangerous when brought to deep water areas or natural rivers and sea areas.

The swimming coach told reporters that many people confuse swimming rings with lifebuoys. Compared with real lifebuoys, swimming rings are too light, difficult to throw accurately, and have poor pressure resistance, which is easy to break and leak. If used improperly, they may also bring potential dangers. Life buoy is a kind of life-saving equipment on water. For the convenience and guarantee of rescue, the production process is more complicated and the requirements are more stringent. In addition, swimming rings have a shelf life. Under normal circumstances, the safe service life of swimming rings is two to three years. Swimming rings that have exceeded the time limit cannot be used even if they are not damaged.

The swimming coach reminded the public that when buying a swimming ring, first of all, it is necessary to see whether the name, address and production date of the swimming ring are complete, and then touch whether the swimming ring has a certain thickness by hand; Secondly, it depends on whether the seams are smooth or not. Try to buy swimming rings with thicker materials, not "three noes" products.
