Shop for Safe Plastic Toys
First look at the gloss and color brightness of the toy
High-quality plastic toys outperform poor-quality toys in terms of gloss and color. This is because high-quality plastic toys are usually made of plastic raw materials such as PVC, PP, and PE, and the plastic itself is very shiny. And many low-quality toys are usually made of "secondary materials" (that is, materials recycled and reprocessed from waste plastic products), and the color will deteriorate after reprocessing. Although it may not be guaranteed that a good color is necessarily safe, products with poor gloss and poor color are all products with potential safety hazards.
Second, it depends on the thickness of the toy product
The biggest feature of plastic toys is that their finished products or parts are one-time injection molding. If the inner wall of the injection molding toy is too thin, it is easy to break and fall when children play, and the plastic parts are brittle, resulting in small fragments, sharp edges, and corners. Dangerous to baby. In general, the plastic walls in the corners or arcs are thicker than other places, which increases the damage tolerance of the toy when it falls to the ground and reduces the damage.
Three to see the 3C certification and label description of toys
3C certification is the abbreviation of China Compulsory Product Certification. The state stipulates that plastic toys must pass the national compulsory product certification, that is, they must have the "CCC" mark. If there is no 3C certification on the product packaging, it means that the product is a fake and shoddy product. However, the 3C mark is not a quality mark, but a basic safety certification, which can only prove that the product is qualified, but cannot prove that the product performance is excellent. In addition, you should also check the manufacturer, origin, main material ingredients, warning slogans, product certification and other labels.
Four points to smell the smell of plastic toys
The German Consumer Protection Center pointed out that if some children's toys have a pungent smell, they should contain harmful substances, such as phthalate plasticizers. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone smell the smell when buying toys. Some experts suggest that you can wash and dry the toys first, try to volatilize the smell of plastic, and reduce the peeling pigment and the heavy metal content in it. Plastic toys can also be boiled and used if they are marked with a high temperature tolerance.
