The issue of dangerous toys made in China seems not to end. The controls have not been rigorous before they are released to the public, nor are they being rigorous after the withdrawals.
Practically every week they announce new massive withdrawals of toys and items (bibs) for containing toxic substances such as lead paint or small pieces, while on the other hand we learn that they are removed from toy stores but can be found on the Internet.
At least that is what the American firm MarkMonitor dedicated to international trademark surveillance has detected, which has warned that Toys that have been recalled in the United States are being sold or auctioned on the Net.
He said he found in 349 lists of online auctions four retired toys that are part of several dangerous games that we have already alerted on the blog. The toxic toys detected are Dora The Explorer, Thomas the Train, Elmo and the set of Barbie with Tanner who lost small magnets.
These are currently the toys detected, the most likely is that they are also sold others that have not yet been found since the withdrawals of recent months include a lot of toys.
Apparently, more than one scoundrel takes advantage of the Christmas dates to sell the toys at great discounts regardless of the effects they can cause on children.
Therefore, this year we must be especially rigorous with the toys we choose to give at Christmas, buy them in trusted stores and ensure that they comply with all safety measures. And when in doubt, better check the listings published by the manufacturers.
