Many Amazon products were urgently recalled, and the blame was directed at Chinese manufacturing!

Toys have always been a popular product on Amazon and are extremely popular among foreign consumers. As toy products continue to sell well, safety issues also arise. The hidden risks must be taken seriously!

It is common for toys to be recalled due to excessive lead content , but some manufacturers still turn a blind eye to safety issues and cross the "red line" in the hope of getting away with it.

The editor learned that recently, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission ( CPSC) announced that Blue Star Trading, Inc., headquartered in Denver, Colorado, recalled a batch of toys because the lead content in the products exceeded the standard .

Excessive lead content is extremely harmful to the human body and can damage the blood system, liver, kidneys , etc. At present, many painted toys and brightly colored toys on the market often have excessive lead content, which may cause lead poisoning in children.

It is understood that these toys were sold exclusively on the Amazon platform from February to April 2021, with about 300 pieces and a price of about US$30.

The brightly coloured toys include a fishing platform, a slide, two fishing rods, 10 fish and three decorative dinosaurs, with both the fish and dinosaurs coming in three colours.

The recalled products are model 1577C. The words "Fishing Hero" and "2-in-1 Fishing Slide" are printed on the front and back of the box, and the words "Made in China" are printed on the side of the box .

The editor learned that these urgently recalled products were manufactured by a toy company in Shantou City. Although no injury reports have been received so far, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission ( CPSC) still reminds consumers to keep children away from this toy. In addition, Blue Star Trading will also refund the buyers in full.

Recently, a large number of toys and children's products have been recalled one after another. Some time ago, more than 500,000 children's clapping watches made in China were recalled due to the risk of choking. 463,000 of them were sold in the United States alone.

The toy market is expanding year by year, and the purchasing power of consumers in Europe and the United States is also increasing. It will burst with greater vitality in the next few years. As more and more sellers enter the market, the hidden risks of such products may increase. Sellers must understand the products and do their homework in advance to avoid pitfalls!
