Trying to please their child, parents buy him a variety of toys, not always paying attention to the safety of the latter. Unfortunately, some toys have no place in the children's room - some of them are toxic, others can be injured, and others often become sources of injury.

In today's top ten most dangerous children's toys are collected.

10. Gold and silver plated toys

Children's crowns and magic wands, doll locks and carriages can be dangerous if covered with gold or silver paint. As a rule, such dyes contain lead and antimony in excess of the norm.

9. Children's cosmetics

This fun, beloved by many, can become a source of danger - if there is no certificate for the product, then, as a rule, the composition exceeds the content of chromium, cadmium, lead and arsenic.

8. Toys of bright unnatural colors

To give the product, for example, a poisonous green color, lead and cadmium are used. Therefore, toys of natural and pastel colors, as well as, for example, unpainted wood, will be safer.

7. Flavored toys

Odorous baby dolls, perfumes for children, soap bubbles with smells and other popular toys can cause a serious allergic reaction. Therefore, if a daughter stubbornly asks for a scented doll, it is worth applying a few drops of essential oil to the hair of any checked doll and let the child enjoy a safe aroma.

6. Weapons firing with small heavy bullets

Such bullets often become a source of trauma to the eyes and soft tissues. And children under the age of five often put small balls in their nose and ears, and shells have to be removed in a hospital.

5. Short kaleidoscope

A toy that everyone knows should be at least 25 cm long. However, there are many samples on sale, the length of which is half the norm. Such a kaleidoscope leads to a gradual visual impairment in the child.

4. Toys with magnetic parts

For three years, more than 1,700 calls to medical institutions in various regions of the Russian Federation with complaints of swallowed magnet have been registered. It is noteworthy that the age of patients in 70% of cases ranged from 4 to 10 years. And if one magnet may not cause severe harm, but two or more, attracted to each other in the gastrointestinal tract, cause a lot of trouble to surgeons.

3. Toys making loud noises

Sound above 65 decibels from the ear itself can cause irreparable harm to the baby’s hearing aid. Therefore, it is worth avoiding especially loud dudels, whistles and tweeters, and it is advisable to postpone acquaintance with headphones until 12 years.

2. Toys made of foam rubber and soft foam

This coating is often protected by water pumps, toy gun stocks, balls. A small child with pleasure tears off and pulls pieces of material into his mouth or simply tries foam rubber on a tooth.

1. Darts

The game of darts for children and adolescents is possible only under the supervision of adults. Every year, more than 7 thousand children are hospitalized with injuries sustained in the process of throwing darts. If the child really asks for darts, then you can buy a model in which darts do not end with a metal tip, but with a suction cup.
