Recently, Amazon removed a very popular magnetic clay for children's toys due to excessive metal arsenic. According to tests conducted by the Northamptonshire Trade Standards Bureau in the United Kingdom, the arsenic content in the clay exceeds 7 times the safety standard, which is a great hazard to children’s health. In addition, the small cube magnets in this set of toys will also pose a risk of swallowing, and the lead content exceeds the standard by 2 times. After the Northampton County Bureau of Trade and Standards issued a warning about the dangers of magnetic clay, Amazon removed the toy from the site. A British mother, Frances Kelly, said that she bought magnetic clay toys on Amazon at Christmas. After a few weeks of playing with her, her daughter had 10 times more arsenic in her urine. The mother then posted on Facebook to remind everyone of the danger of this toy, saying that she was very frightened after seeing her daughter's physical test results. Fortunately, her daughter has not touched the toy since January and hoped her daughter will recover soon. Keywords: Magnetic Clay Children's Toys Amazon
