"The role of children’s toys is not only to amuse, but also to teach children and help them get to know the world. Toys should give children pleasure, and not harm them. And it is for the reasons of safety, and of not harming children under any circumstances, that I greet the report and would like to congratulate above all Mr Trakatellis, mainly for the fact that as a doctor he respects the rule of
above all do no harm.
The report distinguishes between three toxic phthalates which should definitely be banned, and three others about which there are doubts, and which should be replaced by non-toxic substitutes.
In my view there is little benefit in distinguishing between toys designed for children under three and those for children over three, because as a mother I know that often the older children play with the younger ones and with the same toys. It is important to point out that phthalates can enter children’s bodies not only via the mouth, but also through the skin, and can thus cause other illnesses.
Furthermore, attention should also be paid to the toys that children put in their mouths. For this reason I propose that such toys be clearly marked, and above all that the phthalates that a toy contains, or its constituents, are marked on them. Using such unsuitable toys as toys for animals is not the answer."@en1
