"Danger of fire and explosion of bubble cleanser for children"...There's no regulation.

Bubble cleanser products, which children use a lot for bubble play when taking a bath, are at risk of fire or explosion, so consumers need to be careful.

According to a joint survey of 40 bubble cleansers for children by the Korea Consumer Agency and the Korea Gas Safety Corporation, all products used liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG, a combustible gas, as an injection agent.

Among them, the product with the highest LPG charge and the lowest LPG charge were sprayed in an enclosed place for 10 to 20 seconds, and then an electric spark was generated, and it was found to have exploded with flames.

The European Union prohibits the use of combustible gases in products used by children, but our country can sell them without a separate regulation if we indicate a precaution.

The Korea Consumer Agency plans to recommend children's bubble cleanser operators to use injectors that replace combustible gases and ask relevant ministries to come up with safety management measures.

In addition, consumers urged products containing combustible gases not to be used near firearms, and to ventilate when used in closed rooms.
