Teach you five tricks to buy safe plastic toys

One depends on the gloss and color of the toy.

High-quality plastic toys perform much better in terms of gloss and color than inferior toys. This is because high-quality plastic toys are usually made of plastic materials such as PVC, PP, PE, etc. The plastic itself is very shiny. Many inferior toys are usually made of “two materials” (that is, materials used for recycling and reprocessing of used plastic products), and the color is deteriorated after reprocessing. Although it is not necessarily guaranteed to be good in color, it is safe, but the gloss is poor, and the degree of color is poor, which is a product with potential safety hazards.

Second, we must look at the thickness of toy products.

The biggest feature of plastic toys is that their finished products or parts are injection-molded. If the inner wall of the injection molded toy is too thin, it is easy to break and fall when the children play, and the plastic parts are brittle and produce small fragments, sharp edges and corners. Risk to your baby. Generally, the plastic wall in the corner or the arc is thicker than other places, which increases the damage resistance of the toy when it falls to the ground and reduces the damage.

Third, look at the 3C certification and label description of the toy.

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, the product is a counterfeit product. However, the 3C mark is not a quality mark. It is only a basic safety certification. It can only prove that the product is qualified and cannot prove that the product performance is excellent. In addition, check the manufacturer, origin, main material composition, warning slogan, product certification and other label identification.

Four smells 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 you smell the smell when you buy a toy. Some experts suggest that you can wash and wash the toys first, and try to volatilize the plastic taste to reduce the peeling pigment and the heavy metal content. If the plastic toy indicates a high temperature that can be tolerated, you can also cook the toy and use it.

Five to try out plastic toys

For safety reasons, Mom and Dad are advised to try it carefully when buying toys to see if there are potential safety hazards and whether they are suitable for baby use. During the trial, you can shake the toy to see if the parts are firm and have small parts. Or pull the toys with ropes to see if the length is right. When selecting the sounding toy, try to see if its sound is too loud. . It is best to touch the corners of the toy to see if there are sharp objects to avoid scratching the baby.
