As the summer heat kicks in, the mosquito season is in full swing. Reporters have noticed that some mosquito coils now carry labels such as "safe for infants and children," leading many parents to purchase them with the intention of keeping mosquitoes away from their kids. However, industry experts warn that these so-called "child-safe" products may not be as reliable as they seem.
Last week, the reporter visited a large supermarket in the development zone and found only two brands of electric mosquito coils specifically marketed for children. One cost 32.9 yuan, while the other was priced at 26.9 yuan—roughly double the price of regular versions with similar capacity. On Taobao, the reporter discovered a wide variety of "insecticide coils," with one top-selling product having sold over 1,104 units in just 30 days. The seller claimed, "This product is free from harmful chemicals and is especially suitable for babies and pregnant women."
However, according to Chinese regulations, there is no official classification for mosquito coils based on age groups like infants, children, or adults. Products labeled as "baby mosquito coils" or "infant repellent incense" are not standardized, making it difficult to ensure they meet the specific needs of children. From this perspective, these products are more of a marketing gimmick than a genuine solution.
"No mosquito repellent can be completely non-toxic," said Dr. Qiao Yahong, a respiratory physician. While companies may promote their products as "non-toxic," if they effectively repel mosquitoes, they must contain chemical ingredients. Most mosquito coils contain pyrethroid insecticides, along with organic fillers, binders, and dyes. Prolonged use can harm the respiratory system, especially in children, whose airways are still developing. The chemicals in these products can irritate the mucous membranes and cause long-term damage.
Dr. Qiao recommends using physical methods to keep mosquitoes away from children, such as installing window screens, using bed nets, and avoiding the use of chemical-based repellents. These measures can help prevent potential health risks associated with mosquito coils and other chemical-based products.
