Not long ago, a batch of wooden toy suits exported by a certain enterprise in Ningbo to the Netherlands was judged as unqualified products in the market spot check conducted by the European Union, and the European side was forced to take off the shelves, causing no small losses to the enterprise. The batch of products is a wooden toy car set, some of which can be disassembled. The EU test believes that these accessories are not properly sized and may be accidentally swallowed by children. It is a hidden danger of "small parts" in toy safety and does not comply with the EU "Toy Safety".

According to the sample packaging information provided by the European Union, the packaging and product safety labels of the batch of products are also relatively standardized, clearly indicating the applicable age for children over 3 years old. According to the requirements of EN71, toys under 3 years old are not allowed to contain small parts, and children's toys over 3 years old can contain small parts. As long as the corresponding warning signs are attached for risk control, the toy set is clearly marked with relevant information. Warning and warning signs for small parts.

Therefore, the Netherlands has determined that the batch of products should be considered suitable for children under 3 years old and not allowed to contain small items that do not meet the safety test requirements of toys. Parts and require the importer to withdraw the product from the market. The announcement of the incident due to the age dispute of the toy not only adversely affected the exporting enterprises, but also indicated that the EU market will be more stringent in the supervision of children's products such as toys.
