Needle detection: quilting products, such as clothing, often have broken needles (pins, sewing needles, etc.) because of the mismanagement in the manufacturing process.

In the 1980s, injury incidents repeatedly happen because of the broken needles left in the clothing. Therefore.

the government legislated the Consumer Protection Act to control the frequent appearance of broken needles in quilting products.

According to the Act, both the producer and the seller should be severely punished if there are broken needles in their products, and restitution is necessary if the consumer is injured.

To avoid economic losses caused by the broken needles, clothing importers require the products to pass the needle detection carried out by specialized inspection factories before the products leave the factory, and attach or hang signs on the qualified products.
