Most of the toys that our kids play with are made of plastic; from dancing dells to race cars and from kitchen sets to building blocks. Most often, children bite and chew on them. Some of them would even try to swallow them. What happens when these toys are made of PVC?
When the child chews on these toys, harmful substances called phthalates leak out of these toys which in turn enters the child’s body. This can eventually lead to several diseases like malfunctioning of liver and kidneys and even cancers. Many of the toys produced in India have at least ten per cent phthalate content in them.
