Occurrences of chemical residues in products from IC Companys

25 Jul '11
5 min read

To us safety is an important issue and we regret immensely these occurrences. Consequently, we have therefore requested to have personal meetings and counseling with both the Danish Safety Technology Authority and the Danish Ministry of the Environment. Both authorities have responded positively to our request. In the future we will in cooperation with the relevant authorities do all we can to implement or enhance the procedures needed in connection with such occurrences.

Decision from the Danish Ministry of the Environment:
Concerning the cases; the long sleeve T-shirt with the badge containing the Azo dye (findings no. 1), the dresses with the Disperse Red (findings no. 2) and the leather bracelet containing nickel (findings no. 3), the Danish Ministry of the Environment has instructed the Company to follow their guidelines.

Conclusively, the guidelines from the Danish Ministry of the Environment recommend the use of analytical methods which take into account the standards of the Commission (findings no. 3) and that further tests are performed in case of findings close to the maximum permissible values (findings no. 1). The Danish Ministry of the Environment considers the three cases closed.

Concerning the case with the shirt containing Chromium 6 (findings no. 4), the Danish Ministry of the Environment has stressed that the Company should have informed the inspection authorities and communicated this to the customers at that time. Obviously, we take note of this and regret deeply that we did not react as required back then. In accordance with the existing procedures in the area, the Company will in cooperation with the Danish Ministry of the Environment send a statutory notification of the product to the relevant EU authorities. Besides this notification and our product recall in February 2011, the Danish Ministry of the Environment has confirmed that no further measures need to be taken in relation to these products.
