Toys have become the daily needs of many children; Buying well will help children grow up; If you don't buy it well, it will damage your child's health.

Some time ago, I bought a very popular and popular toy for my daughter-Crystal Mud! This toy is bright in color, like jelly when pinched, soft and non-sticky, very Q-elastic, highly plastic, and can be kneaded into various shapes at will, which is very popular among daughters.

One day, after playing with crystal mud, my daughter's hands itched badly, and many red rashes broke out. After washing hands with clean water for many times, it still failed to relieve itching. Finally, I had to take my child to the hospital. After examination, the doctor said it was an allergic reaction and prescribed ointment for rubbing.

thinking that my daughter has never been exposed to any substance, how can she be allergic? When looking up information on the Internet, I accidentally saw a CCTV report about "Crystal Mud", which happened to be the "slime Crystal Mud" that my daughter played. Surprised, regretful and cold behind me, I never thought that the crystal mud bought at a high price actually contained "toxic substances", which would be poisoned and even cause death after long-term contact with the skin and absorption.

CCTV exposure: online celebrity toy crystal mud, the toxic component "borax exceeds the standard"

According to CCTV exposure, almost all "slime" crystal mud on the market now contains the toxic substance borax. It is a cheap and highly toxic sizing agent. Adding borax to the crystal mud will make the crystal mud softer. However, if the child is exposed for a long time, the lighter will be allergic; In severe cases, it will lead to poisoning.

Sampling inspectors bought four different kinds of crystal mud and conducted sampling tests. The results showed that "all of them contained borax in different degrees". Among them, the one with the largest amount exceeding the standard has a borax content of 826.2mg/kg, which is 2.75 times that required by the normal standard.

After reading more materials, it is found that this "slime Crystal Mud" was found to contain boron in the sampling inspection of Shenzhen Consumer Council, and the content exceeded the standard requirements.

This kind of crystal soft clay toy is very popular with children because of its high value and bright colors. Especially young children, in the face of beautiful and delicious crystal mud, they are easy to eat if they are not careful. Even if you don't eat it, it's hard to remove it from clothes and hair.

Borax poisoning is very harmful, so parents should be alert.

After searching for "Borax Poisoning Incident" on the Internet, it is found that incidents of poisoning due to eating crystal mud containing Borax by mistake abound.

Ms. Yang from Guangzhou bought a box of crystal mud for her children when she took them shopping. The child accidentally swallowed a little while playing, resulting in severe vomiting and physical discomfort.

Kathleen Quinn, a little girl from America, was playing with borax crystal mud, because the borax content in the crystal mud exceeded the standard. After long-term contact, she accidentally burned her hand and felt pain through the screen!

The vice president of the School of Science of Beijing Jiaotong University said in an interview that borax is highly toxic. For adults, it only takes 1-3g to cause poisoning, and the lethal dose is about 15g；. But for infants and young children, 2-3g of borax may be fatal; For older children, the lethal dose is 5g.

It is understood that after borax poisoning, people who are mild have vomiting, diarrhea, rash and redness. In severe cases, there may be coma or even shock! Therefore, parents should pay attention and try not to buy this kind of crystal mud toy for their children, so as not to hurt their baby.

Don't buy toys on these "blacklists" no matter how much you like them.

They are children's "companions" and angels! Please don't let it become a demon and threaten children's health. In addition to the crystal mud containing "borax" exposed by CCTV, don't buy toys on these "blacklists" again.

① Colorful bubble water

Seeing all kinds of bubble water, my daughter always can't move her feet and cries to buy it! Once, looking at the "safe and non-toxic" on the box, I bought a box for my daughter.

Looking at the colorful bubbles, my daughter jumped with joy! The excited daughter accidentally poured bubble water on her hand and didn't respond at first. A few hours later, the back of the hand began to be red, itchy and swollen, and was finally diagnosed as "contact dermatitis" by the doctor.

The doctor reminded that children have delicate skin, and when they encounter some corrosive substances, they are prone to allergies and rashes. The composition of the bubble water that children play with is unknown. No one knows what substances the manufacturer added in the production process. Therefore, for the sake of children's health, it is better to buy less.

② sea baby

I believe many parents have bought this toy for their children. It is cheap and brightly colored. The little beads grow bigger and bigger, and children like it.

③ Plastic cartoon toys

Many children will want all kinds of plastic cartoon toys hung in maternal and child stores and small shops on the street. The prices are generally not expensive, and parents often buy them.

as everyone knows, these seemingly "safe" cartoon toys are actually unsafe! It is understood that most of these plastic cartoon toys are made of waste plastics and contain a lot of plasticizers.

According to the research, if children are exposed to toys with excessive plasticizer for a long time, it may lead to precocious puberty!

how to choose safe and harmless toys?

With the development of science and technology, all kinds of "fresh toys" emerge one after another, and parents don't have to pay high prices to buy all kinds of high-tech toys for their children. Buying toys for children, safety is the first! So, how to choose a safe and harmless toy for children?

read the instruction label carefully

when parents buy toys for their children, they should read the instruction label carefully to see if they have passed the national safety inspection. Generally, if it has passed the national safety inspection, there will be the words "GB6675" and the logo of 3C certification.

At the same time, the manufacturer, applicable age and precautions of the toy need to be clearly seen in the product description label.

Pick up the toy and smell it

Whether the toy is opened or not, you can hold it in front of your nose and smell it. If you can smell the pungent smell through the packaging box, you need to pay attention! For the sake of children's health, try not to buy them.

Observe carefully or touch toys with your hands

When buying toys for children, parents should carefully touch them with their hands to see if there are sharp edges and corners and "biting" gaps.

I bought a dolphin doll for my daughter before. My daughter liked it very much. Once she played with it, she suddenly burst into tears. Later, it was discovered that the tail of the dolphin doll had sharp edges and corners, which made the child's hand red. Therefore, before buying a doll, you need to touch it with your hands.

Ask the sales staff for precautions

After deciding to buy toys, parents can also consult the store or sales staff about the use norms and precautions of toys, so as not to cause harm to the baby during assembly or use.

In a word, when parents buy toys for their baby, they should pay special attention to prevent this "angel companion" from becoming a demon that harms the baby, and make rational judgments before buying them. In addition, children should insist on washing their hands after playing with toys and before eating, and don't give bacteria an opportunity.
