Plastic products in the child safety considerations mainly include the following:
1. Avoid plastic products containing phthalates and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The plastic identification of PVC is 3, which is usually soft, elastic and pungent. Phthalates and PVC may have adverse effects on human health, especially in children.
2. Avoid using plastic products containing double-illuminated A or similar compounds. Double illumination A is more common in hard, transparent plastic cups, including some products with a plastic identification of 7-PC. These chemicals can pose a potential risk to children's health.
3. Choose a safe plastic material. No. 1 plastic (PET) is generally safe, but be careful not to place it in a high temperature environment and not to use it repeatedly. No. 2 (HDPE), No. 4 (PE), No. 5 (PP) plastic is generally considered safe and can be used to store food and drink.
Pay attention to the conditions of use of plastic products. Different numbered plastics have different use scenarios and heating conditions. For example, No. 3 (PVC), No. 6 (PS), and No. 7 (other) plastics require special care when used, especially when used for food and beverages.
5. Avoid using plastic products to heat food. When heating food or beverages in the microwave, do not use any plastic products to contain and cover food to prevent chemical migration.
6. Choose safe plastic wrap and fresh-keeping bags. Polyethylene (PE, plastic label 4) plastic wrap and fresh-keeping bags are safe, do not choose PVC.
7. Reduce phthalate exposure in personal care products and cosmetics. Try to buy personal care products and cosmetics that do not contain phthalates (PAEs) to reduce the risk of exposure to children.
In short, when choosing plastic products for children, we should try to choose safe and non-toxic materials, and follow the correct use and maintenance methods to ensure the health and safety of children.
