Chinese cartoon stickers contain toxic substances

In the recent recurring report, the European Union's (RAPEX) RAPEX warning system has put Chinese cartoon stickers on a dangerous list. Accordingly, confectionery products found in Norway contain di- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and di-isononyl phthalate (DINP). These are all banned substances for children because they will lead to health problems and reproductive organs if they are swallowed.

In addition, the amount of cadmium in this toy is 273mg per kilogram, too high for safety. Cadmium is particularly harmful to humans, if accumulated in the body will damage organs, even lead to cancer.

RAPEX warns Europe to recall patch products to best protect children's health.

In Vietnam, cartoon stickers are toys that are familiar to children , sold in many places including sidewalks in front of school gates, with enough color shapes for 3,000-5,000 VND.
