Pick the notes of plastic toys
One of the toys to look at the surface of the gloss and color vibrancy
On the gloss and vibrancy, high-quality plastic toys The reason for this is that high quality plastic toys are usually made of This is because high quality plastic toys are usually made from a plastic material such as PVC, PP, PE, and the plastic itself is very shiny. Many poor quality toys are often made from "two materials" (i.e. materials that have been recycled and reprocessed from waste plastic products) and the color deteriorates after reprocessing. While good color is not always guaranteed, it is always safe, but a product with poor luster and color is a safety hazard.
Two, to see the material thickness of the toy products
The most important feature of plastic toys is the finished product or parts injection molding. If the inner wall of the plastic toy is too thin, it will be easy to break or fall when the child is playing. Plastic parts are fragile and brittle, to small debris, sharp edges, corners, can lead to the danger of accidental ingestion by children. Typically, the corners and arcs of plastic walls are thicker than the rest, which increases the toy's ability to withstand damage when dropped to the ground and reduces damage.
Three, to see the toy's 3C certification and labeling instructions
3C certification stands for China Compulsory Product Certification. The state regulations plastic toys must be through the national mandatory product certification, that is, must be with the "CCC" logo. If the packaging of the product does not have 3C certification, it means that the product is a shoddy product. However, the 3C mark is not a quality mark, it is the basic safety certification, not only can prove that the product has passed the certification, and the product performance is very good. In addition, should also check the manufacturer, origin, main material composition, warning information, product certification and other labels.
