Reference:

When buying children's toys, pay attention to the product labeling. It should be on the packaging or on the toy itself and written in two languages, state and Russian. It is clearly visible, clear and does not wash off. In addition, the quality of the toy can be checked without leaving the counter - this is to check the quality of the paint. It's easy to do - rub the toy hard, if the paint remains on your hands, it's better not to buy it. Since, in a high-quality and safe toy, high-quality dyes are used. In it, the color remains for more than one year, and also does not disappear after the first wash.

The next way is to check what smell comes from the toy before buying. A quality toy will not have a harsh or unpleasant chemical smell, except perhaps a neutral smell. A toxic toy has an unpleasant, pungent chemical odor. It is also necessary to inspect the toy for appearance, it should not have cracks, creases, burrs, from which cuts and other skin injuries, various kinds of injuries are possible.
