When it’s time to buy toys, children’s consideration in choosing toys is to buy them as they like. Which cares whether the toys are safe or not? But as a parent, we can’t help but pay attention to the safety of Baby Toys. So how do evaluate the safety of Baby Toys?
✅The assembled parts of toys should be firm
Toy parts and accessory small objects, such as magnets and buttons, need to pay attention to whether they are firm. If they are easy to loosen or be pulled out, it is easy to cause danger. Because children get small things and stuff them into their bodies. Therefore, the parts on Baby Toys should be avoided from being swallowed or stuffed by children.
If the toy is attached with a rope, it shall not exceed 20 cm, to avoid the danger of children winding their necks. Finally, of course, pay attention to whether the Baby Toys body has sharp edges, to ensure that children will not be cut during the operation.
✅Electric driven toys need to ensure insulation and flame resistance
Electric-driven toys are toys equipped with batteries or motors. If the insulation is not done well, it may lead to leakage, which may lead to the suspicion of electric shock, and even burning and explosion due to a short circuit. Therefore, for the safety of children, the flammability of toys also needs to be considered.
✅Watch out for heavy metals, plasticizers, or other toxic substances in toys
Generally recognized safety toys will determine the dissolution concentration of eight heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, selenium, chromium, antimony, and barium, which shall not exceed the maximum allowable concentration of heavy metals.
The concentration of plasticizer in common bathing plastic Kids Toys is also standard. Because children don’t play with their hands when playing with toys, but with both hands and mouth!
Therefore, the substances contained in Kids Toys may be ingested into the body, further causing poisoning or affecting growth and development due to long-term exposure to these environmental hormones.
✅Buy toys with commodity safety labels
After understanding the characteristics of safety toys, how should parents choose Kids Toys for their children?
The first step, of course, is to buy Kids Toys with commodity safety labels attached. The most common safety toy labels are the “ST safety toy logo” and “CE safety toy label”.
ST safety toy logo is issued by the consortium legal person Taiwan toy and children’s products R & D center. ST means a safe toy. When purchasing Kids Toys with ST safety toy logo, in case of injury during use, you can get comfort money according to the comfort standard established by it.
