eBay recalls children's toy sets due to cancer risk

In order to let their children take a bath quietly, many parents put some toys such as ducks and dolls in the bathtub. However, when purchasing these products, you must pay attention to the quality and safety of the products. Recently, the UK Office of Product Safety and Standards announced the recall of a children's bath toy product.

The product is a bath toy set that contains some colorful bath dolls . Children can put these toys in the bathtub while taking a bath and play some role-playing games while taking a bath. The pictures of the recalled products are as follows:

The UK Office of Product Safety and Standards said that the product contains excessive concentrations of phthalates , so there is a certain chemical risk. Young children playing with the toy will be exposed to the phthalates in the toy , which will harm children's health and may induce cancer or some non-cancer effects in severe cases.

In addition, when the product was subjected to a tensile test , the shower head, tap, shower head holder and pipe fittings in the toy set separated at a force of 5N to 14N. The arms and legs of the doll separated at a force of 68N to 80N, and the tap separated at a force of 15N. The product does not comply with the UK Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 or the REACH Enforcement Regulations 2008 .

According to the assessment of the UK Office of Product Safety and Standards, the product is considered to have a serious risk of choking due to the detachment of chemicals and small parts. Therefore, the UK Office of Product Safety and Standards decided to urgently recall the toy set.

It is reported that the product is made in China and was previously sold on the eBay platform. At present, the product has been removed from the eBay platform. Consumers who have purchased the product must keep it away from children in time and contact the eBay seller to return the product and obtain a full refund.

As a vulnerable group, the safety of children's products cannot be ignored. Sellers in related categories must strictly control product quality when purchasing and producing products, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, which is the way to long-term operation.
