It is said that magnetic assembly blocks are educational toys, which are very popular in the US market after they were put into the market in September 2003. Safety accidents occur because children are prone to eat small beads on magnetic toys because they are magnets and eat more than two beads. These objects attract each other through the intestinal wall, causing fatal intestinal perforation or intestinal obstruction.

Tiles sell well in Hangzhou, but domestic goods have a clear logo. Pick up any brand of this type of toy packaging, you can see the warning"Suitable for children and adults over 36 months". The outer packaging of the magnetic rod building blocks is marked in bold in some places, "When children are toys, it is strictly forbidden to put steel balls or magnetic rods in their mouths." In addition, a warning cartoon "Don't put it in your mouth" was attached to the package ".

In fact, this toy can exercise children's intelligence and hands-on ability. The common feature of these toys is that they are made of small steel balls and plastic rods, and embedded in small magnetic strips in plastic rods. It can be adsorbed on small steel balls or other plastic rods, and then spliced into various geometric shapes and models through some auxiliary materials. Most of the materials used are polyethylene components, NdFeB magnets and metal balls. But if you eat it wrong, it does bring danger. Thus, the appropriate population increases"Children over 6 years of age".

According to Miss Zhong from the business management department of a shopping center in Hangzhou, as earlyOn October 1, 2004, the state introduced the "national toy safety technical specification" (GB6675-2003). The standard classifies toys according to the age and self-care ability of children. For children under 3 years old, there are special instruments to measure the volume of toy parts should not be less than the safety standard. For children's toys over three years old, the easy-to-eat part must also have a clear sign. "As long as the relevant departments determine that the toys are dangerous, we must remove the cabinets as soon as possible."

At the same time, magnetic and electrical performance products suitable for children over 8 years old will be required to be marked with a warning: "Warning!"

Taobao has a toy store called"Strawberry Wood Play Shop", a wooden magnetic vegetable, fruit and music toy, costs 176 yuan, with more than 4320 transactions per month and a cumulative estimate of more than 11000 yuan. Most buyers are evaluated in terms of color, workmanship, taste, suction, smoothness, etc. No one mentioned its safety properties and suitable for children of several years old. In the detailed description of the toy, specify that the applicable age of the toy is "over 3 years old". "Can a 3-year-old play?" the reporter asked. The merchant replied: "Of course, one-year-old children have no problem playing, and the materials we use are safe." But for the safety of the magnet itself, the other party said that parents should take good care of it, even if they eat it, it will be pulled out, the problem is not big.

Children of two or three years old play just right, older children don't like to play anymore, and children over 8 years old don't like this!" The owner said that the toys had issued a warning: "The small parts contained are suffocating and are not suitable for children under the age of 3." Adults must be present to supervise the use of toys." Generally, there will be no problem.

In many primary schools in China, there are toy shops and snacks for small customers, many of which are easily eaten by children's small toys. In a toy store near Shihuqiao Road, we met several children from Anji Road Primary School and Changjiang Experimental Primary School who hastily picked out a Japanese cartoon character smaller than an adult's thumb"Army grass" toys. When asked if it is safe to play with toys, a little boy named Lu Lu said dismissively: "I went to school, as long as I run fast when setting off firecrackers, where else can I eat?""
