Nearly 90 percent of imported to Russia children's toys   available China . The quality of most of them poor. And first of all these products are dangerous to Children's Health .

According to various estimates, from 15 to 18 per cent of toys contain toxic substances hazardous to Child Health   and even the life of children. Often the most dangerous toys for children. Playing toddlers often put their brightest objects in the mouth. If such an object is coated with a paint containing toxic chemicals, the Children's Health   are at greater risk.
