These popular toys are also dangerous
Be mindful when your child plays
In addition to the above-mentioned "syringes" with needles, there are also small toys known as "tricks", "pranks" and "stress relievers" such as "radish knives", "fried buns", "fake water" and "toothpick crossbows". However, these toys may have potential risks such as chemical, physical, and flammable hazards.
▍ Radish knife
The tip and blade of the "turnip knife" are very hard, and with a little force, you can pierce paper or fruit. If your child accidentally stabs himself or someone else while playing, it can cause scratches or bleeding on the skin, and may even injure vital organs such as eyes.
▍ Fried buns, stinky bun toys
Internet celebrity "fried bag" toys, also known as "grenade small fried bag", "firecracker small fried bag", "simulated grenade", etc., have a variety of outer packaging, with "grenades" and "firecrackers" and other shapes. In addition to the fact that some of them "explode" after pinching, they also have a pungent odor.
This kind of "fried bag" and "smelly bag" toys do not meet the requirements of the national mandatory standards for children's toys, and there are also safety risks. For example, hydrogen sulfide produced after the "stinky bag" is exploded is an acute poison, inhalation of a small amount of high concentration of hydrogen sulfide can be fatal in a short period of time, low concentration of hydrogen sulfide has an impact on the eyes, respiratory system and central nervous system.
▍ Fake water
"Fake water" toys are generally present in boron and have a high content, and some also contain isothiazolinone preservatives, even if they are not ingested, long-term exposure also poses a greater risk to children's health.
In the process of playing with "fake water", if the broken skin and mouth are accidentally directly or indirectly contacted, excessive borax will enter the human body, and accumulate over time, burying hidden health risks.
▍ Toothpick slingshot
"Toothpick slingshot", similar to a crossbow, also known as "toothpick crossbow" and "toothpick launcher", metal, bamboo or plastic texture, palm size, function and real bow crossbow similar, slightly different is that the "arrow" fired by this crossbow is a toothpick. As long as the toothpick is hard enough, it can easily penetrate cans and various hard objects at close range, and the maximum range can even reach 30 meters.
▍Fire paint seal toy
The fire paint seal products sold on the market today are mainly divided into ordinary fire paint seals and edible fire paint seals.
Ordinary fire paint seals mainly include seal heads, candles, colored fire paint wax particles, fire paint seals, wax melting spoons, etc., and the materials are generally plastic, metal, and wax; The edible model is made of candy instead of colored fire paint wax grains, which are melted and pressed with a seal to form candy of various shapes. However, many curious children do not know enough about the dangers of toys and accidentally touch the hot stamp head, resulting in red and swollen blisters and wounds.
