Chinese toys are flooded in Indian market, How safe are they?

Looks like the marketers or manufactures in India have got it wrong again. You go to any toy shop today, you will find that the shelves are filled with Made in China toys of various kind.

Even our indigenous automobiles like the Maruti 800, Ambassador, Auto rickshaw, Maruti Omni are made my Chinese toy makers and you got to admit it, they are made to perfection. You can also get Indian versions of the same, but they are poorly made, edges may be sharp and plastic will be of very inferior quality.

How safe are these toys when developed nations like America reject them due to their poisonous lead content. Our advice is do not buy what you get with roadside hawkers. The big shops do have some quality control mechanism and all the Chinese toy makers are not bad. Even they have their regulatory mechanism in place. If you really probe, you may even find that the big toy brands have outsourced their manufacturing to China.

So for now, it is alright to buy those Chinese toys. Stay away if you find them at dead cheap prices. We also hope the Indian toy makers follow the Chinese way and fill the much needed gap for Made in India toys.
