Kid toys from remote control cars to stuffed animal toys with different shape and styles are children’s closest partners in their childhood. However, I am sure not every parent knows that there are too many heavy metal elements in toys, which are harmful to children’s health. Therefore when buying toys for kids, parents should pay more attention on the heavy metal index contained in toys.

October 1, 2010, China ministry of health announced and implemented the toys safety standard with name Limit the Quantity of Harmful Matter in Toys. In this regulation, there is too much stricter standard on the quantity or percent of harmful matter in toys, and what’s more, there should be index label in the toys instruction book. According to the newest standard, the lead content in toys dope should be less then 600mg per kilogram, the arsenic content should be less than 25mg per kilogram while the mercury content in toys should be less than 60mg per kilogram. In addition, the ratio of toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene in toys dope should be less than 0.3 percent. However, after one year, when investing some salesmen in shopping ...
... mall, supermarket and toys chain stores, they even don’t know this toys safety standard. On the other hands, some parents who always buy toys for kids also don’t know the regulations. One parent said that he always pay more attention on the toys’ certificate of conformity, as for the elements of dope, he never pay more attention on it and also didn’t know the new toys safety regulations. As usual, if there is no instruction about toys elements on instruction book, he always bought the toys which ware not likely to paint removed.

Are these toys without painting element instruction on instruction book not qualified products? According to some researcher from toys authoritative organization, if there is no painting element instruction on the packaging, it could only indicate that these products packaging and identifying don’t meet the standards while there is no something wrong with the toys products quality. How to judge the quality condition of toys, you should check whether there is national mandatory 3C certification, product certification and formal manufacturer certification on the packaging.

If the chemical composition in toys is beyond toy safety standard, serious results would be resulted. For example, bad symptoms such as liver and kidney function declined and the number of red blood cell in blood reduced would happen. What’s more, it could even lead to the risk of suffering from cancers. Therefore it is important to be careful on this index.
