The packaging of Internet celebrity toys resembles yogurt, which raises questions
The product has been removed from the shelves
In recent years, the colorful and sweet-smelling "slime" has become a new favorite of children's toys, and the "slime" has many different feels, and there are many ways to distinguish and play, including styrofoam, crystal mud, "fake water", etc
Recently, a blogger posted a video questioning that the packaging that looks like food is easy to cause accidental ingestion, and the packaging of a styrofoam product in the video resembles yogurt, and the blogger said: "The packaging of this styrofoam has a lot of hints that this is yogurt, and it is not indicated as a styrofoam product." ”
As soon as the video was released, it sparked discussions among many netizens, and many netizens said, "At first glance, I thought it was yogurt"
Search found that this product promotional picture has the words "flavored yogurt", the packaging cover is painted with open lid yogurt and spoon, only a line of small words is written on the left and bottom of the package: "This product is not edible, please wash your hands before and after playing", it is reported that this product has been removed from the shelves
"Slime" has been exposed to contain borax
Frequent exposure may trigger allergies
It is reported that this toy is very malleable and malleable due to the addition of borax, but borax is a toxic chemical, and excessive intake can cause multi-organ accumulation poisoning, so "slime" such soft mud toys cause children to be poisoned by mistake
According to relevant investigation reports, the boron migration in the four randomly sampled "slime" samples exceeded the relevant standard of 300 milligrams per kilogram of the European Union, and the highest sample reached nearly three times the European standard
In addition, the texture of "slime" is soft and easy to stick to the skin, excessive dosage of borax added to direct contact with the skin may cause allergies, if the skin is damaged, the side effects of borax will appear faster and more serious
According to experts, for adults, the poisoning dose of borax is about one to three grams, and the lethal dose is 15 grams, for infants and young children, the lethal dose is two to three grams, and for children, the lethal dose is five grams.
At present, the quality of "slime" toys sold on the market is uneven, some are just made of simple plastic boxes/bottles, and there is no information identification on the packaging, which belongs to the typical "three nos" products, except for the packaging like yogurt
There are also many drinks that are packaged like "cola" and "juice".
Searching on the e-commerce platform, I found that the sales of "slime" are very high, and there are stores with monthly sales of more than 10,000, and you can see in the product comment area that most of them are bought by parents for their children
Some people say that children have a lot of fun, others say that it is difficult to wash when it sticks to their hands, and some people say that there are problems with the color, texture, and packaging
Given that children's cognitive abilities are weak, parents must supervise and pay attention if they want to play
- Beware of accidental ingestion. Soft clay toys such as "colored mud" and "crystal mud" are very similar to jelly in appearance, and without adult supervision, children are easy to chew or accidentally eat, which may lead to suffocation or other dangers.
- When children sweat a lot on their hands or have wounds on their hands, try not to play with soft clay toys to prevent borax components from migrating to the human body with sweat or through wounds.
- Children should wash their hands promptly after using soft mud toys to prevent harmful substances remaining on their hands from ingesting into their bodies.
Finally, it is best to let children avoid contact with these shoddy and dangerous products, and safety must be the first priority when buying toys
