The reporter learned that the stationery store involved was a Guangbo stationery store next to the Hanyin County Experimental Primary School. After receiving feedback from parents, the Hanyin County Education Bureau said that it could not manage the off-campus stores, and had contacted the market supervision department, and the school would strengthen safety publicity within the school.
On May 11, a reporter contacted Ms. Liu, the owner of Guangbo Stationery Store, to ask what is the difference between this toy and the syringe with needles in the hospital, the purchase channel and whether the relevant procedures are required to sell the product.
The owner of another stationery store near the experimental primary school in Hanyin County told reporters that there are many stationery stores near the primary school, and the retail price of this toy with needles is 2 yuan, and it is not sold in his store.
The owner said he didn't know whether the products with needles were toys or medical devices, and that the products were also popular online, and that wholesalers would distribute them to stationery stores, "I don't think products with needles should be sold to students." ”
The person in charge of the Hanyin County Market Supervision Bureau told reporters that after paying attention to the online posts posted by the above-mentioned parents, the bureau immediately arranged for the Chengguan Town Market Supervision Institute to investigate the Guangbo stationery store. After a preliminary investigation, it was not found that the store had violated the law, but there was negligence in selling such goods to students, and the store was ordered to rectify, warned, criticized and educated the store owner, and removed from the shelves goods that were harmful to the physical and mental health of teenagers and children.
The person in charge said that according to the definition of medical devices and the classification standard of "6815 Injection and Puncture Devices" in the "Classification Catalogue of Medical Devices", the product does not belong to medical devices. To sell this kind of commodity, there is no need to apply for a medical device business license and other licenses, "and this kind of license will not be applied to merchants in the future." ”
The person in charge told reporters that on May 10, the bureau held a meeting, and the county was divided into four districts to conduct a dragnet re-investigation of harmful food, stationery and toys sold by merchants around the campus. At the same time, further investigation was carried out on the purchase channels and manufacturers of the stationery stores involved.

Toys with needles are hot but from regular sources
There are difficulties in regulation
The reporter searched on the e-commerce platform and found it
Quite a few shops
This "syringe" toy is being sold

The product sold in a maternal and infant toy store on a certain platform is called "Chicken Pinching and Le Acne and Acne Decompression Toys", which is marked as a popular product on the Internet. The store has more than 10,000 sales and more than 6,000 reviews, with mixed reviews. The store's customer service said that the toy has a needle, which is similar to a medical syringe, and students over the age of 15 can play with it with their parents. The reporter asked whether the product was a medical device, but the other party did not reply positively.
The reporter noticed that it was previously revealed that shops and stationery stores near primary schools were selling "syringe" toys in many places. In September 2023, when the media reported the case in Zhaoping County, Guangxi, it was mentioned that the syringe toys were named "Cute Fun Squeezing Acne Pinching Le" and "Cute Pet Squeezing Acne", which contained 2 small silicone toys, a 5ml syringe and a flat-tipped needle. This kind of toy is to inject water or air into the silicone toy to make the small toy bubble and then squeeze it out to achieve the effect of decompression.
Local law enforcement officials said that although the needles of such toys do not have spikes, they also pose a great safety hazard. At the same time, merchants selling "syringe" toys at will may mislead minors into believing that "syringes" can be played with casually. Law enforcement officers take administrative coercive measures against the relevant products.
A staff member of the market supervision bureau of a county in northwest China said that with the hot sale of "syringe" toys, there are also embarrassments and difficulties in supervision. Generally, merchants purchase goods from the wholesale market or are distributed by wholesalers, and the goods channels are formal, and some manufacturers have qualifications and standards for the production of such goods. According to the current relevant regulations, this kind of "syringe" toys, there is no clear classification catalog, manufacturers and merchants rub the ball to claim that it is a toy, it is difficult to determine that the business has violated the law, can only order rectification and removal from the shelves, criticism and education, "such as the radish knife toys sold on the market, the recent popular 'cigarette card' game, there are similar situations." ”
