Buy toys and pay attention to six aspects

There are many kinds of toys on the market, and the quality is not good. To this end, the Zhongshan City Consumer Council released the No. 5 Consumer Warning in 2016, specifically reminding consumers to pay attention to the following six points when purchasing toys for their children:

One is to reject the "three no" products. Plastic toys, electric toys, metal toys, doll toys, and catapult toys are subject to the national compulsory certification system. When purchasing toys, it is necessary to pay attention to the “CCC” certification mark on the packaging or label.

The second is to check the danger points. 1. Toxic and harmful substances. Some brightly colored toys with strong odor may use paints and aromatic compounds with high levels of heavy metals. Prolonged exposure may endanger children's health; 2. Stab injury. Toys with pointed or rough edges, or toys with sharp fragments and rough edges due to cracking and deformation during use, are liable to cause stab wounds and scratches to children; 3. Small parts injuries. If the toy itself is too small, or the attached small parts, decorations and other small parts are too small and easy to remove, may be put into the mouth, nose, ears by children, causing inhalation vomiting or even suffocation; 4. Filling damage. Stuffed toys use inferior materials as fillers, which may cause children with skin allergies such as respiratory tract infections or eczema; 5. Neck injury. The length of the rope on the toy is too long and the attachment at the end is a dead buckle, which can cause the child to be injured or suffocated due to the entanglement of the rope.

The third is to view the age range used. In particular, it is not possible to purchase toys that are "applicable for children over 3 years old" for children under 3 years of age. Infants and young children like to put toys into their mouths.

The fourth is to check the security warnings. Some dangers implied by the toy, the manufacturer will make a warning through the warning, and read it carefully.

The fifth is to check the usage. When purchasing complex toys, such as children's bicycles , walkers , computer learning machines, etc., you should pay attention to whether there are detailed usage methods and precautions.

Sixth, parents should earnestly fulfill their guardian responsibility to cultivate the concept of consumer health and safety in older children, teach them not to buy promote violence, there is a security risk items.

The City Consumer Council reminds consumers that it is best to buy toys from large or reputable stores and keep relevant shopping credentials.
