Carnival costumes: Financial expert warns of health risks

According to a report by www.merkur.de, the consumer advice center in North Rhine-Westphalia warns of potential health risks that could lurk in certain carnival costumes. Cheap costumes in particular could contain allergy-causing substances and chemicals that trigger unpleasant skin reactions and could be harmful to children's health in particular.

The use of allergenic substances and chemicals in costume fabrics and wigs can lead to skin irritations and allergies. Children, in particular, who are more sensitive to such substances, could suffer serious health consequences. Additionally, long-term exposure to these substances could lead to serious health problems.

This warning from the consumer advice center could lead to a decline in demand for cheap costumes as consumers become increasingly concerned about the quality and safety of costumes. This could force manufacturers and retailers to rethink their production and distribution practices to ensure compliance with safety standards. This could lead to a change in the supply of carnival costumes and possibly an increase in prices for higher quality and safer products.

It is important that consumers pay attention to the quality of materials when choosing carnival costumes and, if necessary, look for certifications for allergy-friendly and non-toxic textiles. It is particularly important for parents to ensure the safety of their children's costumes by choosing high-quality and safe products, even if they are slightly more expensive.
