The month of December has came and with it, a period when gifts are given in abundance to our close ones in order to show them our gratitude and love. When choosing an appropriate gift, its safety is often pretty low on our priority list of properties, a gift should have. Thus, gifts that are given could quite regularly have pretty detrimental effect, either for the donee, or for the surroundings. Did you know, for instance, that each year more than 250.000 children are treated at hospitals for toy-related injuries?

In order to avoid injuries of your children, be particularly alert to:

  • Buy age oppropriate toy.
  • Read the warnings and safety precautions usually accompanying the toy and avoid toys that contain small pieces or sharp edges.
  • Explain how to use a aparticular toy to a child and be always present during playing time if the toy may pose a risk.

Nevertheless, children are far from the only ones who are subjected to dangers, originating from products, which are in large numbers at disposal on today‛s market. According to the the findings of The European Commission, chemical risks are right behind risks of injuries when it comes to the degree of risks, originating from products. In regard to chemical risks, they mainly result from different toxic chemicals, emitted by products such as crayons, bath and kitchen products, colors, etc. Additionally, many products contain other non-toxic, but harmful unnatural ingredients, which are eventually being dumped in nature and have potentially detrimental effects to the environment. In order to avoid such discomfort, you can always check Rapid alert system, which provides European consumers with up-to-date information on dangerous products.
