Children love to play. However, their toys are not always suitable for this, and sometimes even dangerous: the regular official tests of toys show that products are just as regularly found on the market that can jeopardise children's health.

"There have been frequent complaints about cheap toys in particular for years," emphasised Health Minister Korinna Schumann during a visit to our toy control laboratory. It is worrying that toys for children under the age of 3 have a particularly high risk potential. "Unfortunately, it is precisely in this respect that we often have to warn the public about such products," said Schumann.
