Trivia: Could blind box walls be harmful to health?

More and more fashion players and figurine enthusiasts like to install blind box walls at home. However, I suggest you think twice before you act:


First of all, what we cannot ignore is the type of paint used on these trendy figures.
1. Paints commonly used in trendy toys include: flat paint, matte paint and glossy paint.
These paints are often highly corrosive, highly toxic and highly soluble and were originally used in the automotive industry and later transferred to toy manufacturing. For example, labubu mainly uses matte paint, while bob will apply a layer of varnish and transparent paint on the surface after coloring to make the toy look brighter and feel smoother.
Every painter and person modifying toys must wear a gas mask. Each coat of paint needs to dry for a few days before work can begin. Formaldehyde is colorless and odorless, and it takes time to evaporate.
If your blind box wall or figurine wall is placed in a bedroom, especially a child's room, it may cause great harm to the body.
A blind box collector discovered that his figurine had a pungent smell, so he tested the formaldehyde inside and outside the box. The result was that the box containing formaldehyde exceeded the national standard of 0.1mg/cubic meter, with the maximum reaching 0.4mg/cubic meter. , which is 4 times the national standard.

2. Many series of blind boxes and figures contain some small accessories. If children put these small accessories into their mouths, they may cause swallowing, with disastrous consequences.
In fact, the outer packaging of blind boxes usually has warning labels, such as "Contains small parts, this product is only suitable for people aged 15 and above" etc. Small parts can block a child's airway and cause suffocation, but many parents don't pay enough attention.

3. Some blind box brand products have been found to contain heavy metals in previous tests. Although they meet EU standards, their quality is still worrying and may be harmful to the body.
Blind boxes and figures are usually made of PVC and painted with paint. Are there any safety issues if children touch them often? The harmful substances that may be contained mainly include heavy metals, plasticizers and formaldehyde. Therefore, these toys may not be the best choice for children. What do you think about this? Should we subject such products to greater scrutiny for the sake of children's health?
