Many children like plush dolls. Plush toys have a cute appearance and a soft touch, which can accompany their healthy growth. Therefore, children often play with plush toys and even sleep with them. But some low-quality plush toys may cause harm to children, such as respiratory diseases, allergies, formaldehyde irritation, etc. Let's take a detailed look at the hazards of plush toys together. Parents should pay more attention to avoid plush toys causing harm to their children.
1. Triggering allergies
Due to the fact that plush toys are textile toys that come into direct contact with children's skin, the surface of plush toys can easily hide dust, bacteria, and formaldehyde, which can cause allergic symptoms in children during play and contact, which is harmful to health. The most common cases are diarrhea and lung infections caused by bacteria on toys in children.
2. Formaldehyde stimulation
Due to the strong stimulation of formaldehyde on the human respiratory tract and skin diseases, it may cause respiratory inflammation and dermatitis. In addition, formaldehyde is a strong irritant to the skin and also a trigger for various allergies. Formaldehyde containing plush toys can release some free formaldehyde during children's play, causing damage to their health.
3. Cross infection
Due to the cleanliness of some toys, multiple children are prone to cross infection when exposed to them. Especially for some "three no products" plush toys, black cotton is used as a filling material. These filling materials, due to the presence of harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, can easily cause children to shed tears and develop erythema when in contact with children. In severe cases, they can also induce skin diseases or other infectious diseases.
