Heavy Metals
In recent years, the US consumer products safety commission has witnessed numerous cases of non-compliance recalling due to the excess of heavy metals(especially lead content) in various products. Lead and other heavy metals such as Cadmium and Chromium, are closely linked to human’s daily life and are widely used in consumer products such as electronics, toys, children’s jewelry, packaging materials, food containers, ceramics, furniture, stationery, and metal attachments, etc. Excessive content of heavy metals in consumer products has an adverse impact on human health and environment. For example, lead can cause trouble to children’s intellectual development if accumulated in children’s blood.
In order to protect human health and reduce pollution of heavy metals to the environment, the international community has issued a series of safety standards to restrict and control the use of heavy metals in consumer products.
Heavy Metals and Toys
EU, USA, Japan, China and other countries have set the maximum allowable content of soluble heavy metals in toys and children's products.
Heavy Metals and RoHS
