Do the plastic balls in the ocean ball pool need to be made of safe materials?

The plastic balls in the ocean ball pool must be made of safe materials, as these balls are toys that children can directly touch or even accidentally enter. The following is a breakdown explanation:

1. Ensuring children's health
Avoiding harm from toxic substances: Low quality plastic balls may contain harmful chemicals or heavy metals such as BPA, phthalates, lead, cadmium, etc., which have potential hazards to children's nervous system, respiratory system, endocrine system, etc.
Preventing odor stimulation: Plastic balls made of inferior materials may emit pungent odors, affecting children's respiratory health and experience.

2. Optimal selection of environmentally friendly and safe materials
PE (polyethylene): It has good flexibility, is non-toxic and odorless, and is widely used in children's products. It is a commonly used material for ocean balls.
PP (polypropylene): slightly higher hardness, lightweight and non-toxic, also commonly used in children's toys.
Prohibit the use of recycled plastics: Recycled plastics may contain impurities or harmful residues and are not suitable for children to come into contact with.

3. Comply with national and international security standards
EN71 (EU Toy Safety Standard)
ASTM F963 (American Toy Safety Standard)
CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act)
GB 6675 (China National Toy Safety Standard)
Plastic balls with safe materials usually pass the testing of the above standards and have relevant certification marks or reports.

4. Durable and not easily damaged, avoiding accidental injury
Safe material with strong compression resistance: High quality plastic balls can be repeatedly stepped on and collided without breaking, avoiding sharp edges that can harm children.
Wear resistant and bite resistant: Some children may bite plastic balls, but the safety material should be able to resist tearing, not fall off, and not easily deform.

5. Easy to clean and disinfect
Plastic balls with safe materials have a smooth and dense surface, which is not easy to accumulate dirt and grime.
Can tolerate rinsing with clean water, wiping with alcohol, or low-temperature disinfection to maintain a hygienic environment and reduce the risk of bacterial growth.

6. Improve user experience and game security
Soft Touch: High quality plastic balls feel warm and smooth, without cutting your hands, providing a comfortable touch.
Environmentally friendly colors that do not fade: Safe materials paired with food grade dyes result in bright colors that do not fade or touch the hands.
