Newborn Toys - Critical Health & Safety Issues

SecurityMeasures

To reduce these risks, when shopping for toys parents must first inform consumers and readers of labels have become. Consumer Packaging and Labelling sites contain the manufacturer's recommendations and other important information. Instructions must be clear and easy to follow. No matter how parents can toys for his boys and girls to select only those that suit them the first, skills, skills. Toys that are too advancedcan lead to security risks to infants.

If you do not limit yourself to only buy toys for the child's age recommended, as the toy box, you should keep an eye on your child while playing in the event that you can chew or bite on the toy indicated. The best option is to try to pull small pieces of the toy (s) do not fall and examine it carefully before giving your child. Nothing is more attractive to young people astoys with bright colorings. But parents should beware. Brightly colored toys can pose a dangerous health risk to children from lead-based paint. So far in 2008, the CSPC has ordered the removal of 45 types of toys from store shelves in the U.S. due to high lead counts. In 2007, agency ordered the removal of 97 types of toys.

Children are mostly affected by lead poisoning because of their habits of putting things into their mouths. Unfortunately, children's systems easily absorb lead. Lead poisoning can cause long-term mental and physical problems, and in some cases death. Children activity books, especially for this early ages, should be considered and testes as toys. They pose a risk of choking because the metal spine can be pulled off by a child. The spine and stickers can be swallowed, as they fit into the small parts cylinder. Also there is a risk of cuts because the released spine has sharps points that can cut the skin.

Small objects that babies can swallow, such as marbles, beads, balloons, small balls, many game pieces, barrettes and Lego blocks are also dangerous. They can become lodged in your child's windpipe, ears or nose and completely block their airway. To test the safety of a toy, invest in a truncated cylinder, which is a clear plastic tube that is available at many stores and allows objects to pass through it that are too small to be given to a child under three. Or, you can even use a toilet paper tube. Make sure that stuffed animals are washable (so they won't become a breeding ground for germs) and that they don't have easily removable parts, such as eyes or nose. These parts could become dislodged and find their way easily into baby's mouth. Also, check squeeze toys and make sure they don't contain a squeaker that will detach, posing a choking hazard.

Generally, avoid toys with batteries or even worse mains operated toys/appliances for babys due to a number of reason. Firstly batteries tend to leak and we know baby's like to suck on things. Secondly Baby's could all start a 'hire-a-huby' business. Thirdly mains operated toys or appliances come with cords, which can be a strangulation risk as previously mentioned. If you really can't get around using things like baby monitors or night lamps, than please make sure that the cables are secured and out if reach. It pays to check on that frequently as older siblings tend to be fascinated with those too. Before you know it cables are in the open again.

Toy Safety Standards

As well as making sure your toys are safe, one of the things you can do is to check if the toy producer provide product liability insurance in case something does ever happen. The three sets of toys standards are:

International Standard ISO 8124 established by the International Organisation for Standardisation (supplemented by IEC 62115 for electric toys established by International Electrotechnical Commission); European Standard EN 71 Series and EN 62115 standard for electric toys as specified in BS EN 71 and BS EN 62115; and ASTM F963-08 established by the American Society for Testing & Materials.

The Bottom Line

Finally, remember that toy safety, doesn't end when you leave the store. Follow these advises to ensure your newborn stay safe from the moment he receive a toy to the day he is ready to give it up. Always remember that the supervision is the most important safety factor that you can provide to protect a child from harm.
