The Labor Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education (2022 Edition), issued by the Ministry of Education, will come into effect in the autumn semester of 2022. It completely separates labor from the original comprehensive practical activity curriculum and clarifies the importance of labor courses in compulsory education. Good information, children's kitchenware, and other labor education toy are suddenly popular. From the network platform spread out the children's labor made of video: noodles, cutting vegetables, cooking, cooking, children are doing well. However, with the sales of such products booming, the safety of kitchenware toys has also raised concerns among parents, and it is doubtful whether children can be trusted to eat cooked food.
As an emerging product, children's cooking toys mainly have the following problems:
1. Product attributes are not clearly defined; 2. Blind area in daily supervision; 3. The standard system is not yet sound; 4. Security risks are difficult to prevent; 5. Product quality is defective.
Product attributes are not clearly defined
First, product attributes are not clearly defined. As a new product, children's cooking toys have three attributes: toys, kitchenware, and household appliances. The product attributes are still unclear. From the feedback of consumers after purchasing the product, we know that the product is clearly labeled as a toy, but it can really realize cooking. Is it a kitchen utensil or a toy for children? In view of this problem, the customer service of most stores chose to avoid making careless mistakes, generally saying that "the cooked food is edible, but only parents need to accompany them to operate". For the material of the product, the general answer will be "food grade". And for product standards, most businesses do not clearly indicate the implementation of the standard. Some businesses make use of unknown product attributes, which may cause certain risks.
There are blind spots in daily supervision
Second, daily supervision with blind spots. Children's cooking toys do not refer to the "playing house" toys in the past but can let children fry, fry, and cook the real cooker real shovel cooker. In the product introduction of an e-commerce platform, children's cooking toys are divided into two kinds: "simulation version" and "real version". Different from the "simulated version" of resin and PP toy products, the "real version" of children's cooking toys can realize the real sense of cooking.
The "real version" can be divided into two cases. One is the product with real use, such as the animal oven with very little power, which is considered a toy. But this kind of product besides conforming to the regulation of electric toys also conforms to the regulation of small appliance products. Second, some are actually kitchen appliances or home appliances, but the surface is printed with colorful patterns, and the size of general kitchen appliances or home appliances to a little smaller just, this is not a toy. Due to the variability of product types, in the supervision, there are no detailed documents or provisions stipulating the specific use of different children's cooking toys and reference laws and regulations.
The standard system is not perfect
Third, the standard system is not perfect. Children's cooking toys are toys, kitchenware, and home appliances in the non-traditional sense, which leads to no relevant implementation standards.
It is understood that children's cooking toys can not be classified as toys, and should be managed in accordance with the national norms and standards concerning food safety. According to Professor Shi Hang, the draftsman of the national non-stick pan standard, a large number of low-quality non-stick pans, mainly using cheap recycled metal substrates, coupled with a poor oil coating, resulting in heavy metals in the substrate dissolubility seriously exceeds the standard. The supervision department's spot inspection shows that not to mention these children's cooking toys without enforceable standards, even food-grade non-stick frying pans may also have heavy metal dissolving out of excess standards. Therefore, the development of relevant children's kitchenware implementation standards is urgent.
Safety hazards are difficult to prevent
Fourth, security risks are difficult to prevent. According to the State Administration for Market Regulation published in 2021, the state supervision and spot inspection of children and students' supplies product quality shows that the unqualified rate of toys spot inspection is 16.1%. And Shanghai Institute of Quality Supervision and Inspection Technology released "Children Cooking toy set product quality analysis" the data analysis results show that 4 batches of children cooking toys do not meet the toy standard requirements, and the non-compliance rate is 100%; Among the 4 batches of products, 1 batch of products did not meet the food safety requirements, and the unqualified items were the total amount of migration. These substandard products on the market are bought by consumers. Once an accident occurs, it is likely to cause injuries to children, which will affect the life safety of children seriously. The operation safety issue is particularly critical.
The product quality is defective
Fifth, there are defects in product quality. Some children's kitchenware bought from online platforms will smell a bad plastic smell when they open the packaging, and even the cooked food will have a bad taste. Some consumers said: "When the wok is heated, it is very hot, and my fingers are scalded if I don't care"; Some children's cooking toys are very rough in workmanship and have many defects, which are easy to cut the arm or finger. In addition, although some children's cooking toys are labeled with non-stick coating materials, after one or two uses, the non-stick coating will fall off, and some even buy back after the nail is pulled off. This kind of situation shows that the quality of children's cooking toys is worrying. With the booming sales of such products, we should pay more attention to their quality and safety to ensure that "little cooks" are not harmed in their labor practices.
