Abstract
In recent years, as the impact of chemical exposure on children's growth and health has garnered attention, synthetic resins and rubber products made from chemical substances are being used extensively in everyday household items. Particularly, infant toys made from these materials are frequently encountered by infants in their daily lives, presenting specific opportunities for chemical exposure. Therefore, safety management and regulations have been implemented in various countries. This paper aims to outline the current status of domestic and international regulations concerning chemicals in toys and to raise awareness about the safety management of toys in our country through the discussion of health risk issues associated with toys in circulation.
