State Administration for Market Regulation: Nearly 60% of disposable steam eye masks have skin burn risk sales | Steam | Eye masks
Nowadays, many people like to use disposable steam eye masks to solve problems such as dark circles and dry eyes caused by long-term use. According to statistics, the sales revenue of disposable steam eye masks in 2022 was nearly 2 billion yuan.
Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation organized risk monitoring for this emerging product, and the results showed that 56.7% of the temperature characteristic indicators of the samples did not meet the requirements, posing a risk of burning the skin around the eyes of users. It is understood that some disposable steam eye masks exaggerate their advertising and provide incomplete and non-standard safety tips.
Doctors remind that people's ability to perceive temperature decreases after falling asleep. If symptoms such as dry eye occur, it is necessary to seek treatment at a regular hospital and not rely on disposable steam eye masks. Special attention should be paid not to wear contact lenses or use disposable steam eye masks. At present, the industry standard for disposable steam eye masks is being developed.
