Core Viewpoint - A recent incident in Hunan involving a 3-year-old girl developing acute contact dermatitis due to decorative stickers highlights the potential health risks associated with children's products, particularly those that may contain harmful substances [1][2]. Group 1: Health Risks from Decorative Stickers - The girl developed noticeable redness on her right cheek after using stickers purchased from an e-commerce platform for a holiday event at her kindergarten [1]. - The rapid progression of her symptoms, including swelling and blistering, led to a diagnosis of acute contact dermatitis, attributed to the potential presence of harmful chemicals in the stickers [1][2]. - Doctors emphasize that children's skin is more vulnerable due to underdeveloped skin barriers, making them susceptible to allergens found in low-quality products [1]. Group 2: Recommendations for Parents and Educators - Parents and educators are advised to choose products with clear labeling, including manufacturer information and safety certifications, to avoid low-quality items [2]. - Conducting a skin test on a small area before applying stickers can help identify potential allergic reactions [2]. - It is recommended that stickers not be applied for more than 4 hours and should be removed gently to prevent skin damage [2][3]. Group 3: Broader Safety Concerns with Children's Toys - Other children's toys, such as temporary tattoos and rubber stamps, may also pose safety risks due to the presence of harmful substances like phthalates and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [4][5]. - Children's play mats may contain excessive amounts of formamide, which can cause skin and respiratory irritation and has potential carcinogenic risks [6]. - Popular "slime" toys may contain borax, which can lead to severe health issues if ingested [7]. Group 4: Guidelines for Selecting Safe Toys - When purchasing toys, it is crucial to choose reputable channels, such as large supermarkets or certified online stores, to avoid unregulated products [8]. - Parents should look for safety certifications like "3C certification" and "GB6675" standards on toys [9]. - A thorough inspection of toys for sharp edges, loose parts, and strong odors is essential to ensure safety [10][11].

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of selecting safe toys for children, highlighting the risks associated with "toxic" and "dangerous" toys, and providing guidelines for parents to ensure children's safety during playtime [1][5]. Group 1: Risks of "Toxic" and "Dangerous" Toys - A case of a 3-year-old boy swallowing "water beads" illustrates the severe health risks associated with certain toys, leading to intestinal obstruction and requiring surgery [2][4]. - Common toys like "water beads" and "magnetic balls" pose significant choking hazards, with frequent incidents reported at pediatric emergency centers [2][4]. - Certain toys contain harmful materials, such as boron in "slime," which can cause poisoning, and some stress-relief toys release carcinogenic substances [4][6]. Group 2: Guidelines for Safe Toy Selection - Parents are advised to choose toys with "CCC" certification and to consider the child's age, interests, and safety features when selecting toys [5][6]. - It is crucial to avoid toys with sharp edges, small detachable parts, or those that may pose choking hazards [5][6]. - Regular monitoring of toys for safety compliance is recommended, as over 70% of tested stress-relief toys failed to meet safety standards [4][6]. Group 3: Emergency Response and Prevention - In case of ingestion of foreign objects or exposure to toxic materials, immediate medical attention is essential to reduce surgical risks [7][8]. - Parents should implement a monitoring system for younger children, ensuring toys are checked before, during, and after playtime [8]. - Strengthening market regulation and enhancing safety standards for new toys are critical to preventing future incidents [8].
