Then how do we usually distinguish between genuine and pirated plush toys?

1. Genuine plush toys are generally produced by large factories. From raw materials, fillings to packaging, printing and so on must pass national and even international safety certification. Formal manufacturers, first of all, have strict requirements for the production environment: clean, safe and sanitary environment, which has a crucial impact on the hygiene of the product. It is difficult to imagine that a dirty underground processing plant can produce products that meet the requirements of safety and environmental protection, and it is difficult to imagine what kind of consequences such products will have when they are put in the hands of infants and young children.

2, the selection of genuine plush toys all have strict standards, and its raw material suppliers (including fabrics and fillings) are also manufacturers that meet national and international safety standards, and do not allow substances harmful to children's health (especially mercury and other heavy metals) to be mixed into the material. Therefore, although the cost may be higher, it is absolutely safe and reliable. Pirated products are often produced by small factories, only the pursuit of low prices, ignoring the safety of the product. Many bad manufacturers use recycled materials as fabrics and black cotton as fillers. The price of such products is very low, generally can not see the difference from the appearance, and adults may not feel the harm for a while. But infants and toddlers have soft skin, are very sensitive to stimulation, and like to lick and bite toys. If long-term exposure to this undesirable product, it will have an adverse effect on the growth and development of the baby.

3, in strict control of the production environment, raw material selection, production process management is particularly important. The production process of plush toys will inevitably use needles, scissors and other metal objects: in the sewing process, the needle will often break in the toy; During the packaging process, there have also been incidents of scissors carelessly placed in toys. The big factory that produces genuine products has a strict metal management system, and at the same time, the production process must also go through many metal detection processes, and it must be inspected one by one before leaving the factory, so that it is foolproof. Many small factories are poorly managed, and some do not even have metal detectors. So even if they use the right materials, it's hard to keep the tiny needles out of the toy. Such products also pose a potential threat to your baby's health.

4. The genuine plush products are vivid and lively. The pirated expression is often dull, damaged, out of shape phenomenon is serious, children's love will be greatly reduced.

So, how to distinguish between genuine and pirated products? The most simple to look at two points: anti-counterfeiting standards and certificates. Genuine products have beautifully made laser anti-counterfeiting marks, anti-counterfeiting marks have numbers, each product is different. At the same time, the national quality testing regulations, each plush toy must have a certificate (or hanging on the product alone, or printed on the packaging box), which must be printed with the name, model, manufacturer name, address, product composition, quality standards, warnings, etc., indispensable. If any of the above is missing, it can basically be considered a substandard product.
