Sometimes it's a matter of quality, and sometimes it`s about the age restrictions. Today we will talk about some dangerous toys. And don't forget that on Jiji http://jiji.ng/toys, you will find all kinds of safe toys, and at best prices!
Toys with small details
Dangerous for the child may be small parts of some toys, unsteadily pasted small elements of soft toys, fragile rattles with loose fillers. Also, in this category we can mention the new-fangled homemade toys for developing fine motor skills, involving playing with buttons, beads, cereals. All of these items can be swallowed by children, and in the worst case - a child can shove them in the nose, the ear canal, or even breathe in.
Magnetic constructors
The most notable example of this category is "Neokub" consisting of magnetic metal balls. This toy is dangerous not only for the little ones, who put everything to their mouth. The fact of the matter is that magnetic attraction between elements of this toy is so strong that even adults sometimes use their teeth to separate one ball from another. Swallowing a few balls of this toy is dangerous, because inside the digestive tract they are attracted to each other, causing severe damage to internal organs. Child, not realizing the danger, can not even tell adults that he swallowed several balls, so it is better not to buy such a toy at all.
Music toys
In general, music toys are very beneficial for your kids and should be in every house. However, such toys must be of high quality, especially the quality of the sound. Many manufacturers produce toys that are too loud, exceeding the established standard of 85 Db. Such a loud sound has a very bad effect on hearing function, and constant use can cause deafness. The sound should not only be enjoyable, but it should be of high quality: this means no noise or wheezing. But even with such a toy your child should not be playing longer than an hour a day, as the constant sound load might harm the hearing function of your child, as well as the nervous system, therefore causing fatigue.
Weapon, darts
The most popular "boys`" toys are the guns with pellets or disks, darts, bow and arrows, swords and sabers with sharp ends. And of course they can cause injuries. Children might inadvertently shoot themselves straight to their face, causing eyes or ears damage. Kids can also injure themselves by swinging the sword. The danger of these toys is growing with each year as the manufacturers do not realize all the danger these kinds of toys can cause children.
