Choking and threat to the kidneys. These are the most dangerous toys of last year<

It is not the only dangerous toy the inspection has revealed. Last year, it inspected 2,767 models, and found shortcomings in 979. She rated nine as dangerous. It was, for example, a stuffed fish with suction cups, a singing dragon Čmoudík, slime Jun Tao or a doll ROSE.

"In these cases, the analyzes performed showed a serious risk of possible injury or health consequences due to long-term contact with substances that may pose a health risk to the body of young children," said CTIA Director Mojmír Bezecný. Here are the nine most dangerous toys of last year:

Plush fish with suction cupThe toy is made of smooth plush, the body is yellow, the fins are blue, the eyes are embroidered. Four strips of plastic ironing material in blue are ironed on the fish's body. A white string is sewn into the back of the fish, on which a plastic suction cup is placed. During the test, this part came loose from the toy. A small child can tear the suction cup, pull it out of the unsecured string and put it in his mouth. He could then swallow or inhale it.

Singing dragon Čmoudík During the tensile test, parts of the glue and cables came loose from the toy. At the same time, it was found that there was a hole in its inner pocket for storing the battery case and that the filling of the toy was available to children. During use, a small child may tear off small parts or remove the padding from the toy with insufficiently secured seams in the inside pocket. These components can then be swallowed or inhaled.

A squirrel with a sound A child can pluck a small part from a toy and then inhale or swallow it. Tests have also shown that the toy does not meet the restrictive requirements for the presence of DEHP phthalate, which can cause developmental defects or damage to the kidneys, liver and sperm. Specifically, it contained up to sixty times the permitted amount.

Wooden rattleWooden drum on a stick in pink and white, which has loops made of red string attached to both side parts. There is a red bead strung on each loop. On the front of the drum is the face of a cat wearing a yellow-green hat with a red bow. The child may pluck small parts from the toy that are at risk of inhalation.

Slime Jun Tao A high amount of boron was measured in the toy. If it is taken in excess, it is stored in the body and can also manifest itself in acute symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea or rashes. Prolonged contact with material containing excessive amounts of boron may lead to damage to the reproductive system in the future.

Rubber scarecrow with cordThis is a rubber elastic figure - scarecrow with cord "PUFFER BALL". The toy is green in color, has limbs finished with multicolored tassels. The figurine has highlighted painted eyes. The body is equipped with a rubber hinge with an eyelet at the end. This is used to attach the toy to the finger. A plastic ball is inserted inside the body of the toy, which glows when shaken. There is a risk of strangulation with the product, which can occur if the cord made of flexible material wraps around the child's neck at least three times. At the same time, it is possible to release colored pompoms from the product with a small force, which the child can inhale.

Golf cart Doll Carrier is made of metal tubes with a pink finish. The seat is made of pink fabric with a printed motif of various teddy bears. Additional parts of the stroller construction, such as handles, wheels or handles, are made of pink and white plastic. The toy was marked by the manufacturer as unsuitable for children under three years of age due to possible suffocation after inhalation of small parts. But in addition, during the use of the toy, a small child may be injured by the unsecured ends of the metal tubes, or the stroller may collapse due to its insufficient strength.

ROSE doll ROSE doll is a textile toy, 30 cm high, recommended by the manufacturer for children aged 18 months. The doll has a sculpted plastic head covered with hair braided and plastic hands. Other parts of the body are sewn and softly padded. She is dressed in a dress made of pink fabric, in the hull part of this fabric is printed with white polka dots. Decorative parts in the shape of green leaves are sewn into the waist of the dress. The doll has a pink hat on her head with a green ribbon. A small child can peel off part of the velcro from the toy and put it in his mouth. This part of the toy could be inhaled.

Colored enclosure with swing By performing the appropriate tests on the Woody "Swing with Backrest", it was found that after loading with a load of the prescribed weight, the adjustable non-removable clips of the suspension means moved and slid downwards. The adjustable non-removable buckles perform the function of adjusting the seat to a horizontal position and the function of lengthening or shortening the suspension means. After moving the above-mentioned buckles, the swing seat was deflected from the horizontal position and thus the seat was significantly tilted. The child is at risk of injury because he may fall out of the swing. The risk increases if the child leans forward while swinging.
