With the arrival of the holiday season, parents are rushing to stores to buy toys for their children waiting for Christmas each year to receive gifts chosen and mentioned on a list prepared well in advance.
However, by purchasing these toys, parents do not take into account toxic products contained in these gadgets.
Indeed, some toys contain chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates are dangerous for children.
Note that bisphenol A is present in some dolls and plastic products; it causes hormonal disturbances and is linked to certain cancers.
Phthalates are endocrine disruptors and sometimes are toxic for human reproduction; they are also found in lint.
In addition, the fragrances used to mask the smell of certain products can cause allergic and asthma.
On the other hand, dyes and heavy metals such as mercury and lead used in the paint covering the game are carcinogenic.
Hence the importance of buying green toys emphasizing gross drinks, natural paints, lint produced from natural products and cotton or cloth dolls instead of those decorated plastic.
We must also choose toys that have a label that embodies respect for the environment.
In addition, priority should be given toys that do not consume a lot of energy to reduce their environmental impacts.
