New Zealand has announced that clothes made in China are safe, after testing them for formaldehyde.

The general manager of the New Zealand Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Liz MacPherson, said on Tuesday the ministry had collected 100 samples of clothing and asked independent labs to carry out the tests. Of the samples, 84 percent was manufactured in China, seven percent in New Zealand, and nine percent in other countries. The distribution was based on the market share of clothes in New Zealand.

In August, New Zealand launched an investigation into children's pajamas made in China, after two complaints were filed, involving children who suffered burns while wearing the pajamas. The test results from an independent lab prove that the pajamas produced in China were up to safety standards.
