Do plastic balls need to be placed out of the reach of children?

When placing plastic balls, especially for children in the home environment, there are indeed some safety considerations that need to be taken into account. Here are some suggestions to ensure the safe placement of plastic balls:
1. Prevent accidental ingestion or inhalation
Small plastic balls may be accidentally swallowed or inhaled by children, especially for infants and young children under 3 years old, who usually have the habit of putting items into their mouths. Swallowing plastic balls by mistake may pose a choking hazard, so it is necessary to keep the plastic balls out of reach of children.
2. Avoid improper play
Children may use plastic balls for improper purposes while playing, such as throwing or throwing, which may accidentally harm themselves or others. Storing plastic balls in a safe place to prevent children from playing alone can reduce these risks.
3. Prevent plastic aging caused by high temperature and light exposure
Some plastic balls (especially ordinary plastic materials) may deform, age, or become brittle when exposed to high temperatures or direct sunlight for a long time. To avoid this situation, it is best to place the plastic ball in a cool and dry place, away from high temperatures and strong sunlight, especially in areas that are easily accessible to children.
4. Keep clean and prevent slipping
In a home environment, plastic balls may slide on smooth floors due to their smooth surface, posing a risk of slipping for children and adults. Make sure to place the plastic ball in a fixed location or use appropriate ground protection measures in the children's activity area.
5. Ensure age appropriate use
Some plastic balls may be designed specifically for older children or adults, with smaller accessories or additional features such as batteries, magnets, etc. When selecting and placing plastic balls, it is necessary to ensure that they are suitable for the child's age group and do not contain any small parts or hazardous substances.
6. Avoid long-term storage in children's toy areas
Although plastic balls are safe as children's toys in some cases, it is best to store them in appropriate places and regularly check their integrity and safety, especially when not in use, in order to avoid confusion or children using them as non toy items.
