В Костанайской области обнаружены игрушки с повышенным содержанием фенола 20.07.2022

As part of the monitoring of product safety, the branch of the Republican State Enterprise on the REM "National Center of Expertise" of the CSEC of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the Kostanay region examined 40 samples of children's toys.

According to the results of laboratory studies, an increased content of phenol was found in two samples.

This is a "Lovely baby" doll and a children's top made in China. The content of a toxic substance in them exceeded the permissible norm by 1.32 times (at a norm of 0.05 mg/dm3), which could lead to irritation of the mucous membranes and, as a result, to poisoning.

In connection with the revealed violations, these products are included in the register of non-conforming products (http://reestr-np.kz/rus/).

Also, the Department of Sanitary and Epidemiological Control sent instructions to individual entrepreneurs to eliminate the following violations: preventing the sale of non-conforming products, providing documents confirming the fact that they were withdrawn from circulation, providing shipping documentation that ensures its traceability with an indication of the deadlines.
