Safety issues of using magnets in children's toys
With the development of technology, more and more children's toys are beginning to use magnets as elements to attract children. However, behind these seemingly harmless toys, there may be some potential safety hazards hidden. This article will explore the safety of magnets used in children's toys to help parents and educators understand the issue so they can keep children safe while playing.
1. The impact of magnets on children
The effect of magnets on children depends primarily on the strength of the magnet, the length of exposure and the age of the child. Magnets with low magnetic field strength usually do not have much impact on children, but magnets with high magnetic field strength may cause skin allergies, gastrointestinal discomfort and other symptoms. In addition, long-term exposure to strong magnetic fields may also affect children's nervous systems.
2. Application of magnets in children’s toys
In children's toys, the application of magnets is mainly concentrated in toys that require assembly such as puzzles and building blocks. The magnets in these toys are often used to hold other small parts such as plastic pieces, magnets, etc. Although this design makes the toy more interesting to a certain extent, it may also cause children to accidentally swallow the magnets, causing dangers such as suffocation.
3. How to ensure the safety of magnets in children’s toys
To ensure the safety of magnets in children's toys, parents and educators can take the following steps:
(1) Choose age-appropriate toys: When purchasing toys, you should pay attention to the age label of the product to ensure that the selected toys are suitable for the child's age group. Also choose toys that use low field strength magnets.
(2) Avoid letting children come into contact with magnets for a long time: Limit the time children play with magnets, especially those with high magnetic field strength. Also, try to avoid letting children hold or bite magnets in their mouths.
(3) Store magnets properly: Keep magnets out of reach of children to prevent accidental swallowing. In addition, alternative magnets such as magnetic clasps can be used for fastening to reduce potential risks.
4. Conclusion
The safety of magnets used in children's toys cannot be ignored. Parents and educators should pay attention to this issue and take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of children while playing. At the same time, relevant departments should also strengthen supervision of the children's toy market to ensure that toys sold on the market meet safety standards.

"Since 2006, we found Mr.Guo and get products from him. We used magnets under the earth for the gas and water pipe industries. We have met no problem. We have been working in very happy ways. We have many cooperation. Every year, we spent time together and sometimes, we invited him to Korea. He is our younger brother. Strongly recommended!!"

"I had email to Mr. Guo for rare earth magnet requirements. They replied my e-mail promptly, and were very professional. Mr. Guo’s team still continues to deliver rare earth magnets to our agreed specifications with a very high quality standard since 2012. His team is very professional and thorough with its work. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend them."
