Can children play with pvc plastic toys? High-quality plastic toys are usually made of PVC, PP, PE and other raw materials, and the plastic itself is very shiny, while many inferior toys are usually made of "second-class materials" (that is, recycled and reprocessed materials of waste plastic products), and the color becomes worse after reprocessing. Although products with good color may not be guaranteed to be safe, products with poor gloss have potential safety hazards. The biggest feature of plastic toys is one-time injection molding of finished products or parts. If the inner wall of the injection toy is too thin, the child will easily break and hurt when playing, and the plastic parts will be fragile to produce small fragments and sharp edges, which will cause danger to the baby. In general, the plastic walls at the corners or radians of plastic toys are thicker than those in other places, thus increasing the destructive power of toys falling to the ground and reducing the damage degree.

Plastic toys must pass the national compulsory product certification, that is, they must have the "CCC" logo, which is the most basic safety certification. If there is no 3C certification on the product packaging, it means that the product belongs to fake and shoddy products. In addition, parents should also check the labels of plastic toys, such as manufacturers, places of origin, main material components, warning slogans, product certificates and so on. If some plastic toys have a pungent smell, they are more likely to contain harmful substances such as phthalate plasticizers. Some experts suggest that toys can be washed first and then dried, try to volatilize the smell of plastic and reduce the content of peeling pigment and heavy metals.

According to medical experts, phthalate esters may affect the secretion of hormones in fetuses and babies, causing hormonal imbalance, which may lead to precocious puberty in children, affect the reproductive system and cause other health problems. Remind consumers that when buying toys for their children, try to choose formal channels to buy them, such as formal large shopping malls, maternal and child stores, brand stores and so on. Don't buy goods from unknown sources. The logo of children's toys in the market is messy, especially the material logo is too simple, only "plastic" and "PVC". Some plastic toys have a pungent smell and will fade. Some don't even have factory address information, let alone 3C certification and QS logo. Be careful when choosing to buy. When using plastic toys, try to avoid children licking or biting the toy surface.

Government departments should intensify their efforts to urge plastic toy manufacturers and sales enterprises to take responsibility for product quality and safety. Strictly control the quality of raw materials, fully consider the requirements of protecting children's safety and health, and fundamentally put an end to product safety hazards. If the circumstances are serious, it shall bear the responsibility of responding to the lawsuit in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
