Toxic Toys

China is the world’s biggest manufacturer of kids’ toys and almost 75% of the toys that are sold around the world are imported from China in some way or the other. But a recent study of Chinese made toys showed that these contained highly toxic materials that can cause bodily harm to young kids and even be fatal if they put these in their mouths. As a result, many countries have banned the import of toys from China. But this has given rise to another problem with China blaming the United Kingdom and USA with attempting to hamper its economy and already, warning shots have been fired over these toys. It seems that we are on the verge of another confrontation and the cause for it is just toys.

Safety is of great importance. Often children put almost anything into their mouths therefore never let your child play with balloons whether it’s inflated or broken. Avoid marbles and toys with razor-sharp edges. Damaged toys should be disposed off, to avoid danger make sure you buy toys which do not produce a high level of sound as that is not recommended for your children and it may lead to hearing problems in the future. So avoid tap guns, horns, noisy mobile and squeaky toys. A child’s ear should not be exposed to more than 120db of sound.
