A total of 24 toy products were recalled by the EU Rapex system: toys with water-absorbing swelling materials were swallowed or suffocated by mistake

The risks of children's toys need to be paid attention to. Recently, many kinds of toys have been randomly detected in the market and have been recalled. Of course, these toys not only appear in the domestic market, but are also being recalled internationally. In May 2021, the EU Rapex system recalled 24 toy products, 22 of which were produced in China. It should be noted that there are 2 cases of toy products where the size of the expanding material will increase by more than 50% when the toy enters water this month.
