Fake plastic toys may contain phthalates. A British study found that long-term exposure to phthalates can lead to reproductive diseases. Phthalates can enter the body through skin contact, inhalation and diet, which has adverse effects on health, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity and chemical mutagenicity. Can be used as a tackifier for plastic toys. Phthalate ester tackifier is mainly used in polyethylene raw materials, which can change polyethylene raw materials from hard plastics to flexible plastics. It has the function of tackifier and is widely used in different products such as blood bags and hoses for medical devices, small toys, food contact raw materials and so on.
Second, small toys are "scalded" into plasticizers by boiling water.
Huang Zhaoge, an expert professor at the School of Polymer Materials Science Research and Engineering of Qingdao University of Science and Technology, told reporters that plasticizers are also called tackifiers. Adding this substance to plastic particles can make them elastic. Scientific research institutions in Europe and America have found that plasticizers may affect the balance and function of children's original endocrine system, feminize men or increase the risk of precocious puberty of little girls. Plasticizer will accelerate the molecular thermal movement and evaporate quickly when it meets boiling water. If the child puts this little toy in his mouth when taking a shower, he will immediately ingest plasticizer.
Third, things harmful to babies: plastic toys.
