Producing safe toys

  • Manufacturing safe toys
  • Creating safe toys

Implementation

In 1999, the European Commission decided to ban the sale of toys containing phthalates, which can have harmful effects once mixed with saliva ad swallowed by children.

Claim

In order to warn the parents, manufacturers of toys should be required to put a warning label even on those toys made from soft PVC and containing phthalates which are not intended to be put in the mouth, since children may well do so as they explore their world.
