Recently, safety accidents caused by broken plastic chains have occurred in multiple places. Since October, a construction area in a certain community has been surrounded by plastic chains, which were blown off by the wind due to the fragile material, resulting in two children being injured when they entered; During a promotional event at a certain shopping mall, the plastic chain used for isolation suddenly broke, causing crowds to crowd and step on it.
The reporter's investigation found that the problematic products are mostly made of recycled plastic, with a load-bearing capacity of less than 5 kilograms and poor weather resistance. The emergency management department reminds that steel chains should be used for construction fences, crowd isolation, and other scenarios, while plastic chains are only suitable for non load bearing scenarios such as warning signs. At present, the market supervision department has carried out special inspections and removed more than 3000 unqualified plastic chains to prevent safety risks.
