NORTHBROOK, Ill., Nov. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-- For over 20 years, the UL GREENGUARD Mark has served as a reliable,

trustworthy symbol to consumers that a product supports human health and poses

a lower risk of chemical emissions exposure, which is especially important when

dealing with children.

UL(https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3354888-1&h=2337917333&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ul.com%2F&a=UL), the global safety

science leader, announced today that car seats manufactured by China-based Wonderland Group

(https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3354888-1&h=2256744839&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wonderland.com.tw%2Fen&a=Wonderland+Group), a maker of nursery products, car seats, baby strollers, travel cots and

height chairs, received UL GREENGUARD Gold Certification. Wonderland Group car

seats are the first in the Asia Pacific region to receive GREENGUARD Gold

Certification, which was developed for the specific health sensitivities of

children and other vulnerable populations.

Products that have achieved GREENGUARD Certification are scientifically proven

to meet rigorous third-party chemical emissions standards, helping to reduce

indoor air pollution and the risk of chemical exposure. The GREENGUARD Gold

Certification standard includes health-based criteria for additional chemicals

and requires lower total volatile organic compound emission levels to help

ensure that products are acceptable for use in environments like schools and

healthcare facilities.

"Parents prioritize health and safety first, which extends to products they buy

and use as their children grow older. By receiving a GREENGUARD Gold

Certification for its car seats, the Wonderland Group has positioned itself as

a company that manufactures healthier products. This comes at an opportune time

as consumers are looking for products that contribute to healthier

environments, and retailers are seeking GREENGUARD Certified products to appeal

to health-conscious customers," said Doug Lockard, vice president and general

manager of the Retail and Consumer Products group at UL. "The number of

GREENGUARD Certified products has grown to include more than 67,000 products in

20 different product categories, and the Wonderland Group is an example of the

growing trend of companies looking for GREENGUARD Certification for baby

products."

Arthur Song, an executive vice president at the Wonderland Group, said,

"Customers around the world are demanding healthier, more sustainable products,

which is also important to us at the Wonderland Group. Achieving GREENGUARD

Gold Certification for our car seats can help build trust and confidence among

our customers that we have health and safety in mind when they put their

children in our car seats."

For two decades, the UL GREENGUARD Mark has served as a reliable, trustworthy

symbol to retailers, consumers and procurement professionals that their

products support human health and pose minimal risk. UL's GREENGUARD

Certification Program confirms that a product has been tested for more than

11,000 chemicals and is low emitting. Once a product tests and demonstrates

compliance with the standard's criteria, the manufacturer achieves the UL

GREENGUARD Mark to display on products that meet certification criteria. The

program has grown into a widely recognized, trusted Mark adorning low-emitting

products from consumer-packaged goods to children's furniture.
