Choose Children's Toys with 3C Certification

China is a major toy manufacturing country in the world, but its production structure dominated by OEM processing leads to a low overall quality level of Chinese toys. Some enterprises still lack attention to the performance, production links and packaging links of toys. Products have problems such as small parts, sharp edges, sharp corners, and warning signs that do not meet specifications. After reasonable abuse, unqualified products may have small parts scattered or broken, which can easily cause children to swallow or scratch their bodies, thereby damaging children's physical and mental health.

The Gansu Provincial Administration of Quality and Technology Supervision organized a risk monitoring on 40 batches of children's toys sold in the market circulation. Among them, 27 batches meet the safety project index requirements, and 13 batches do not meet the project index requirements. The compliance rate of the project indicators is 67.5%. The monitoring results show that there are 13 batches that do not meet the requirements. In addition, 35% of the samples collected in the monitoring do not have the enterprise name marked, 37.5% do not have the enterprise address marked, and 32.5% have no marking at all, which are "three-no products" (products without manufacturer name, no production address, no production qualification). Most of the above products are distributed and sold in night markets or fairs.

The Gansu Provincial Administration of Quality and Technology Supervision reminds consumers that when purchasing children's toys, try to choose formal shopping malls and supermarkets to buy children's toys, and clearly identify the "3C" certification mark. Verify the authenticity of the "3C" mark before purchasing, so as to prevent unnecessary harm to children.
