This' mini kitchen 'is very safe to use, it can really stir fry dishes, and can be used to make fried eggs and other food that can be eaten normally. It has been purchased by more than 600 people within a week. It can be both hands-on and edible, with a set costing only a few tens of yuan, so don't hurry up and buy it. Recently, a popular children's toy called' mini kitchen 'has become popular, with monthly sales of over 10000 units and total sales of hundreds of thousands of units on multiple e-commerce platforms. Many bloggers strongly recommend it, claiming that it can make children's childhood colorful, but few mention the risks and hidden dangers behind it. However, in reality, hospitals have received multiple cases of children who were injured due to experiencing children's toys such as mini kitchens. It is worth noting that besides "mini kitchens", there are still many dangerous simulation toys on the market at present. Industry insiders have pointed out that the prevalence of dangerous children's toys is not only related to unscrupulous businesses pursuing profits, but also inseparable from relatively weak regulatory and punitive measures. It is recommended to promptly develop and update technical standards for new types of toys, refine safety indicators, improve safety traceability systems, recall systems, etc., increase the punishment for the production and sale of toys that do not meet safety standards, and increase the cost of illegal activities. The mini kitchen is not safe. Recently, a reporter purchased a set of 30 items called "mini kitchen" on an e-commerce platform, including a stove, spatula, cutting board, kitchen knife, burner, etc. The product details page states that "it is very safe to use and the food made can be consumed normally. After operation, the reporter found that this "mini kitchen" is not as "reliable" as the merchant claimed: in order to better fit the actual effect of the kitchen, the edges of the small vegetable knife, small pot shovel, etc. are made very sharp, and a slight mistake may scratch the skin; The barbecue grill has not been opened yet, but it has already scratched the packaging bag; The stove has faded seriously, and the inner wall of the small foam box used to package the stove has become brick red. As for the heating method, the one purchased by the reporter is to ignite the wick by refueling, and then ignite a small piece of charcoal (the fuel and fuel are provided by the merchant) to continuously heat the pot. The packaging of the oil used to ignite the stove reads' Keep away from children and do not eat ', while the charcoal packaging is entirely in English without any Chinese risk warnings or warning signs. After igniting the fuel, a pungent smell hit my face. The reporter tried stir frying a green vegetable and found that the bottom of the pot had changed color extensively, like paint peeling off, and the temperature during stir frying was as high as 150 degrees Celsius, making it easy for children to get burned. Another heating method is based on a principle similar to that of an induction cooker. But the reporter saw from the relevant product reviews that many "mini kitchens" have hollow spaces between the heating plate on top and the heating plate below, without protective measures in between. If soup spills onto the heating plate or a safety accident occurs. The reporter also has doubts about the merchant's promotion of using a "mini kitchen" to make meals that can be eaten with peace of mind and "cooked and eaten really": after searching inside and outside the packaging, no execution standards for kitchen utensils were found, and there were no age and danger warnings, only a recipe gifted by the merchant. A review blogger found through stainless steel testing that many "mini kitchen" kitchen utensils on the market are not food grade 304 stainless steel, but 200 stainless steel, which may release harmful substances due to high temperature, high pressure, or corrosion, causing damage to children's physical and intellectual development. The handle of the pot is easily hot to the touch, and after cooking once or twice, there will be rust stains in the pot. I only dare to teach my children how to cook, and I dare not give them anything to eat. The rice cooker in the 'mini kitchen' is very poor, and I regret buying it. It trips at home as soon as I use it. After only using the rice cooker once, the machine exploded, and the seller still replaced it with the same product. "In the comment section of multiple 'mini kitchen' products, reporters saw that many consumers expressed concerns about its safety performance. The lack of supervision and the difficulty of safeguarding rights, in addition to "mini kitchens", there are also many toys on the market that may pose a danger to children. Magnetic beads, also known as "magnetic Buck balls", have a diameter of about 5 millimeters and possess magnetism. They can be arranged and combined freely to form various shapes, and are highly favored by children. Recently, a 1-year-old boy accidentally put a magnetic bead into his mouth while playing and swallowed it. Due to the magnetic force and the tortuous structure of the small intestine, magnetic beads cannot be smoothly discharged through the intestinal lumen, but instead adhere to each other through the intestinal tract, resulting in small intestine perforation in the little boy. Fortunately, the magnetic bead was removed through surgery, and the little boy was saved from danger. There is a laser pointer that has harmed multiple children. Not long ago, a 9-year-old girl's right eye was accidentally irradiated with a high-power laser pointer, resulting in severe damage to the macular area, loss of central vision, and inability to see objects clearly in her right eye. Another child was injured while playing with an electric toy train - the motor suddenly overheated, causing the child to burn their fingers while touching the train, resulting in redness, swelling, and blisters on their fingers. Why are dangerous children's toys popular in the market? According to Yao Jianying, a partner at Shanghai Yingdong Law Firm, this is related to the relatively weak regulatory penalties currently in place. The iteration of children's toys and the upgrading of materials involved in products are fast, while market supervision and spot checks are lagging behind; The mismatch between punishment and harm results, high production and sales profits, low cost of illegal activities, and insufficient punishment intensity may result in effective deterrence, leading to businesses being fearless; In the process of law enforcement, there may be inconsistencies in the implementation of laws and regulations, resulting in some production and sales entities not receiving the appropriate punishment. Some parents and children are very interested in new and unique toys, or purchase them to satisfy their sense of comparison or vanity in social groups. Some companies and merchants produce and sell toys that may have safety hazards to meet this demand Yao Jianying said. At present, there are many short videos and tweets online that promote dangerous toys as children's toys. If parents or children have problems purchasing these toys due to promotion, how should the responsibility be divided? Yao Jianying analyzed that if the promoter is an online sales store, it has a safety guarantee obligation to consumers and cannot sell industrial products that do not meet the standards and requirements for protecting human health and personal and property safety; If e-commerce platform operators fail to effectively regulate the sale of dangerous toys on their platforms, they need to bear certain responsibilities. Currently, many short video websites attract traffic through content sharing or ultimately achieve sales goals through live streaming by hosts. If the anchor or UP owner is an employee of a merchant or produces and sells products on their own, then the anchor or their business entity shall bear civil liability for returns, exchanges, compensation for losses, etc. If the anchor is an advertising publisher or spokesperson and knowingly or should have known that the toy being promoted has safety hazards, and still recommends it, then according to the provisions of the Advertising Law, the anchor may be jointly liable with the advertiser Yao Jianying said. However, in reality, it is not easy to protect one's rights due to property and personal safety damage caused by dangerous toys. Ms. Zheng from Huaibei, Anhui previously bought an electric doll for a 3-month-old child to practice lifting their head online. After receiving the product, she found that the battery was low and used the battery charger provided by the seller to charge it. After charging for more than half an hour, the battery exploded and fragments fell to the ground, generating many sparks. Several areas on the floor were blackened by smoke. Fortunately, the explosion did not occur during use, and the child was not present. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable Ms. Zheng said that her head was marked with a red mark by explosion debris, and floor repairs also require money. However, after reporting the situation to the merchant, they only agreed to give her a 5 yuan voucher. Yao Jianying analyzed the reasons behind the difficulty in safeguarding rights, firstly, the difficulty in collecting or fixing evidence of purchasing behavior; Secondly, proving the high cost of product quality issues increases the cost of consumer rights protection; In addition, some businesses may intentionally delay time, refuse communication, or use various means to obstruct consumer rights protection in order to evade responsibility, resulting in an increase in consumer rights protection time. "In the field of Internet consumption, relevant laws and regulations and dispute resolution mechanisms are not sound enough for some disputes in online shopping, online services, etc., which makes it difficult to deal with these disputes quickly and effectively." Yao Jianying said. The person in charge of a toy company in Guangdong province told reporters that according to the "Catalogue of Compulsory Product Certification", toys are included in the scope of China's compulsory product certification, including children's toys, model toys, plastic toys, etc. These toys must pass 3C certification before they can be legally sold for export or domestic sales. Although some toys are not included in the 3C certification catalog, it does not mean that they are not regulated. For toys not included in the catalog, such as electronic pets, remote-controlled cars, etc., their safety standards should comply with the requirements of relevant national regulations and standards. These toys should be subject to spot checks and supervision by relevant national departments when sold in the market. The reporter found that in order to comply with 3C certification, children's toys currently need to meet multiple standards, such as GB6675.1-2014 "National Technical Specification for Toy Safety" and GB6675.2-2014 "Toy Safety Part 2: Mechanical and Physical Properties". If children's toys are designed as kitchenware, cooking utensils, etc., they should also comply with the corresponding national standards. Yao Jianying suggests that for new types of toys, technical standards should be formulated and updated in a timely manner, safety standards should be refined, and technical standards should be used as a reference for toy design and production to improve the basis for punishment and accountability. Establish and improve relevant systems, including safety traceability system, recall system, etc. The procurement, production and processing, transportation and sales of toy raw materials can be traced, and end consumers, regulators, and law enforcement officers have channels to obtain detailed product information. Potential safety hazard products should be recalled in a timely manner, and the recall information should be publicized in a timely manner. Intensify the punishment for the production and sale of toys that do not meet safety standards, increase the cost of illegal activities, and have a deterrent effect. At the same time, economic penalties will be imposed on illegal enterprises and individuals, including high fines, revocation of business licenses, etc., and they will be included in the list of bad credit records, displayed in the industrial and commercial information, or their activities in market access, financing and loans will be restricted Yao Jianying said. In her opinion, it is necessary to strengthen the positive publicity of the platform, encourage the production and release of public welfare videos, popularize and establish awareness among parents and other consumers to purchase and use toys with 3C certification marks and comply with national standards. E-commerce platforms and stores involved in toy sales should strictly review the products on the shelves to ensure that the sold toy products meet certification standards, label and remind the displayed products, and help consumers make purchases. Referring appropriately to the 'safe harbor principle' in the field of copyright protection, for display and sales activities involving product quality or vulgar toys, once complaints and reports are received, online platforms may take measures such as removing product sales links or videos after review Yao Jianying said.
