Concerns raised over toy kitchen use after girl burned
China DailyA 10-year-old girl in Wuhan, Hubei province, was severely burned recently while playing with a "mini kitchen" toy capable of heating food, raising concerns over the safety of toys that enable children to cook real food. "Even if a toy induction cooker is not very powerful, certain areas can reach temperatures high enough to cause skin tissue degeneration and necrosis," Liu said. Mini kitchen toys and similar products blur the lines between playthings and real kitchen appliances, and current national toy certification standards may not be sufficient, industry experts say. The Beijing Municipal Administration of Market Regulation advises consumers to check for labeling information, including material composition, recommended age range, safety warnings and the CCC mark, China's compulsory certification for product safety.
