Are you aware of the detrimental effects of lead in our health? Are you aware of the massive recall of toys in stores lately?
I believe that you heard this news already because it has been the talk of the town for quite some time and it has created criticisms and reactions from different sectors in society.
No doubt you have heard about latest findings of lead paint in some of our children’s toys and gadgets, right?. Lately, there was concern and panic with the presence of lead in imported toys from China. It was found that these toys were the culprit of the latest issue about high lead content of imported children’s toys from overseas.
Lead is one type of heavy metal used by toy manufacturers as an alternative and inexpensive option to quickly dry the paint, to resist rust and corrosion and to retain its attractive appearance for longer period of time. Even though it is a cheaper alternative, it is toxic and fatal once ingested by the user. Medical experts said that this toxic metal may result to toxicity and other medical-related problems. It can also cause poisoning when it finds it way inside our body.
At present, many of us are unaware that some of our house paints contain lead which can be toxic once inhaled or exhaled. Some parents are also blinded and unaware that some of the cheaper brands of toys sold in the market contains lead which could pose health-related issues and problems with children especially when kids chew or suck the toys on their mouths. Did you know that even the smallest chip of paint could result to lead poisoning in children?
It was found that this toxic chemical is not only found in toys but it is also found in metals, plastics and woods. Medical findings reveal that lead poisoning can result to mental and physical disabilities like speech trouble, learning problems, damaged organs and diminutive growth in children.
As a parent, it is your duty to protect the health and welfare of your child, thus, it is vital for you to avoid buying these products. How would you know that the toy you buy contains lead? Well, since some manufacturers will not put it in product labels, parents are advised to buy toys from credible and reputable toy manufacturers which have the reputation of offering quality customer service and companies which primary concern is to ensure the safety of children who used their toys. You must make it a habit to read product labels before buying anything, regardless of what items it may be. Remember that the health and welfare of your child lies in your hands and you cannot avoid the risk by simply buying inexpensive and low quality toys, right? You should be on the look out for the latest news on the issue. You should inquire from friends and conduct research about lead, its symptoms, its detrimental effect and other related issues. Remember that your child is your most precious wealth, thus, you must ensure their welfare by becoming an educated and well-informed consumer.
