( excerpt from the United States of America -- the Timesonline site ) ;;< ;< ;> > ;the Sunday times ;report ,Britain and most popular toys Hamley ( Hamleys ) and Monsoon chain fashion shop sell part of Chinese manufacturing children lead emissions exceed the standard ,the lead content of possible damage to the brain even fatal .
From London and Bermingham bought a 24 children products ,found eight of them after testing containing high amounts of lead ,six pieces of lead content of more than 80% ,according to the international regulations ,children lead content of safety limit of 0 .
In 6% ,British lead emissions limit is 0 .1%. Hamli is responsible for the transaction of director Currie learns of this after the test results ,immediately announced the two lead content exceeded the standard commercial production under the frame ,and began an investigation .
He said : children that lead is absolutely unacceptable ,because such products and children have close contact ,may have on their health caused serious negative effect . ( this article is taken from the Hindustantimes website -- ) currently on the European market 80% toys from China ,the European Union and 4 pieces per complaint problem commodity is a toy ,while 85% were complaints of toys from china .
According to the European toy standard committee of the German chief representative Fish introduced ,in Germany ,the federal states have the appropriate government agencies for toy manufacturers ,importers and retailers and fair conduct supervision and inspection ,the unqualified goods received the punishment banning the sale ,also to the EU bulletin, and in the European Union system for .

Small amounts of lead can cause brain and nerve damage ,hearing impairment ,digestive disorders ,adult reproductive system disorders and dysplasia .Childhood lead poisoning may occur following symptoms :stomach pain ,anorexia ,hyperactivity and headache .
More lead storm events occur in Europe ,people on the made in China doubt ,China toys and jewelry manufacturers therefore faced a crisis is also grow with each passing day .But on the other hand ,the crisis also gave China the toy jewelry manufacturing enterprises to create the best opportunity to prove their strength .

1 thought that lead-based paint in China generally application present situation ,Chinese manufacturers to avoid foreign commodity inspection agencies and the loss caused by the need to paint raw materials into the plant ,the lead content test of strict control, as well as regular on raw materials paint lead to tracking test ,or require the paint suppliers to provide a quality test report .
The raw material for lead content control method is simple ,high efficiency ,cost savings ,but there is some risk .Because the raw material after processing technology eventually finished when the levels of lead ,sometimes change .
2 on the final product of the lead content in paint for testing ,monitoring is also very necessary ,because usually the commodity inspection agencies inspection used mostly from the actual product extraction paint samples .
Through to the finished paint test is used to control the amount of lead in paint ,this method is closer to the actual situation of foreign checks ,but the efficiency will be lower, if the product category is too much ,the cost will rise slightly .
In the specific case of paint raw materials and finished products ,the lead content of control can be combined .3 in the color selection also should pay attention to .Paint color is mainly composed of many paint pigments containing lead compounds cause ,such as red lead and lead white .
There institutions do a test ,in 23 lead paint samples, orange paint lead content in the highest ,the rest are yellow ,green ,brown .So ,the manufacturer when choosing colors ,also want to consider the color of lead content requirements .
