If you think that this is just a fictitious story of suspicious parents, you are mistaken. And we are ready to prove it to you. And here is a selection of the most dangerous toys. Protect your baby from them.
The shelves of children's shops are full of toys. It is simply impossible to look away from them. Well, still, the developers of this product have tried to glory. But are all the toys safe? Unfortunately no! It is better to refuse some people's purchases. Why? Because they can cause serious harm to your child.
1. Game CSI Fingerprint Examination Kit
This children's game is based on the plot of the famous American show "Crime scene". At first sight, it seems to be a good toy, intelligent. The child himself conducts an investigation and discovers the crime. It's interesting, is not it? But there is one "but". In the set of the game there are brushes with a special powder, which contains about 5% of asbestos. But long-term contact with this substance is fraught with the development of cancer. So, think about it before buying this toy!
2. Magnetic constructors with small parts
For crumbs of toddlers, such toys are prohibited. Why? Because kids all pull in the mouth. And God forbid, they will swallow magnets! Unlike plastic or metal parts, magnetic elements are not removed from the body naturally. In the intestine, individual elements connect and block the flow of blood to the digestive system. And, if you do not immediately undergo a surgical operation, the baby will die. It's horrible!
3. Inflatable swimming pools for babies
Well, what about the circles is not it? Agree that they must ensure the crumb maximum safety on the water. But in reality, alas, everything is not so. The straps that the baby should fix are not properly held. Imagine, only in 2009 in the US during swimming in the pool on such a circle nearly drowned 30 children! How can this be irresponsible on the part of the producers of these toys!
4. Toy «Hannah Montana pop star»
The level of lead in such toys is 75 times higher than normal. But even constant contact with low doses of lead causes neurological disorders and provokes obesity. And here it is much more than normal. And about what only manufacturers of such children's toys think?
5. The game Aqua Dots
This game is very similar to the usual children's mosaic. But do not relax - it's not so simple. Balls, from which the child will lay out pictures or make handmade items, stick together. They have a special glue, which is activated after interaction with water. This glue is very dangerous! It contains a high concentration of gamma-hydroxybutyrate. At best, after swallowing these balls, the baby will vomit, and at worst - he will fall into a coma.
6. Doll Snack Time Cabbage Patch Kid
To children this doll is very interesting. Of course, she knows how to eat. And for the feeding of such dolls complete with her comes a special plastic food. But on this nutritional preferences of intellectual toys do not end. She can easily chew on the fingers of the crumbs or tear out the shreds of hair. A real monster doll!
7. Children's hammocks
There are no sharp or exploding parts. What is dangerous in children's hammocks? It turns out that the whole problem is rooted in an ill-conceived design. Entangled in an inextensible nylon thread, the baby can suffocate.
8. Darts with pointed arrows
At least about 7,000 children were seriously injured and 4 babies died playing with such an unsafe toy. By the way, for more than 25 years, such darts are listed in the list of banned toys. But, unfortunately, this does not prevent some unscrupulous producers from occasionally throwing out this prohibited product to the market.
9. Laboratory of young physics
This development kit was first released in 1951. What was not there in it? Both the Geiger counter, and the spontariescope, and the electroscope. But the highlight of this laboratory was the samples of Uranium-238 (they were still considered safe at that time). Just imagine how many lives of young geniuses have been ruined by these dangerous isotopes! After all, these substances provoke the development of leukemia, cancer and other terrible diseases. Today, no one produces such mini-laboratories. But who knows what the modern sets of young chemists and physicists contain? It may well be that in a decade and about them, humanity will learn the whole truth. Therefore, not knowing what is in the kit, it is better not to buy it.
10. "Crying" toys
Too loud sounds (more than 65 decibels) can cause serious harm to the hearing aid of the baby. The child may develop hearing problems. In addition, irritating sounds negatively affect the infant's nervous system. Therefore, with pishchalkami, whistles and other tricks are better to wait until 10-12 years.
