Beware of Invisible Killers in Children's Toys

In recent years, many parents have been eager to provide the best for their children, often opting to purchase high-end toys from abroad, especially colorful and smooth ones that seem to be both fun and safe. However, behind the attractive appearance of these so-called "luxury" toys lies a hidden danger — they may contain harmful substances that could seriously affect children's health or even endanger their lives. During the manufacturing process, toy surfaces are often coated with various materials to enhance their brightness and durability. As the first layer that comes into direct contact with children, any toxic or harmful substances in these coatings — particularly volatile or easily airborne particles — can pose serious risks. These invisible threats can lead to long-term health problems, including respiratory issues, developmental delays, and more severe conditions. Recently, the Shanghai Airport Inspection and Quarantine Bureau seized two batches of imported toys and paints that failed to meet safety standards due to excessive levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Common VOCs include benzene, toluene, xylene, and others, which can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, and in extreme cases, damage to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. After identifying the violations, the bureau conducted on-site inspections and supervised the destruction of the unqualified products. The entire process was carried out strictly and efficiently, ensuring that substandard goods did not reach the market. This incident highlights the importance of maintaining strict quality control at the border to protect consumers. Meanwhile, the issue of foreign milk powder has become a hot topic among Chinese consumers. Many people have been purchasing imported baby formula from overseas, but recent restrictions in countries like New Zealand, Australia, and Hong Kong have made it harder to obtain. Online sales have also faced challenges, with prices rising and confusion growing among buyers. Chinese consumers are puzzled by these restrictions, while foreigners remain confused about why Chinese people spend so much on foreign milk powder. In fact, New Zealand is the main supplier of infant formula to China, accounting for over 70% of imports. However, a severe drought in New Zealand this year has led to higher prices, affecting domestic brands that rely on New Zealand milk sources. The “Müller Lier” scandal further fueled consumer distrust, leading to increased scrutiny of foreign milk powder. Some retailers were forced to re-evaluate their supply chains, requiring certifications to ensure authenticity. Consumers are now more cautious, questioning whether the products they buy are truly "original imports." To address these concerns, China implemented new regulations in May, raising the bar for imported dairy products. These measures include stricter registration requirements for foreign manufacturers, enhanced responsibilities for importers, and mandatory testing reports. While these steps aim to improve safety, many importers are still struggling to meet the new standards. At the same time, a report claiming that domestic milk powder is better than imported ones sparked public debate. While some argue that China’s standards are among the most rigorous, others demand more transparency and evidence. This ongoing discussion reflects the need for greater trust and clearer communication between regulators, producers, and consumers. In conclusion, while the challenges surrounding foreign toys and milk powder continue to create confusion, it is essential to approach these issues with a realistic and scientific mindset. By addressing the root causes, improving production technology, and strengthening regulations, China can work toward a future where both domestic and imported products are trusted and chosen confidently.
