在网上市场的24个经过测试的玩具中,近70%的玩具由于危险的按钮电池而达不到安全标准,给儿童造成严重的摄取风险。 Nearly 70% of 24 tested toys from online marketplaces failed safety standards due to dangerous button batteries, posing serious ingestion risks to children.

在测试发现来自Shein、AliExpress、eBay和亚马逊等在线市场的24个玩具中, 近70%的玩具因纽扣电池风险而达不到澳大利亚安全标准。 A consumer safety warning has been issued ahead of Christmas after testing found nearly 70% of 24 toys from online marketplaces like Shein, AliExpress, eBay, and Amazon failed Australian safety standards due to button battery risks. 其中17个玩具有严重的缺陷,包括没有工具的电池箱、缺失的警告和松散的螺丝,构成严重的摄入危险。 Seventeen of the toys had serious flaws, including battery compartments accessible without tools, missing warnings, and loose screws, posing a severe ingestion hazard. 如果吞咽,按钮电池可在数小时内造成危及生命的伤害,澳大利亚约有20名儿童每周住院治疗,每个月有一名儿童遭受严重和长期伤害。 Button batteries can cause life-threatening injuries within hours if swallowed, with about 20 children in Australia hospitalized weekly, and one child per month suffering serious, long-term harm. 虽然亚马逊和eBay在接到通知后移除了不安全物品,但Shein没有答复,Ali Express驳回了调查结果。 While Amazon and eBay removed the unsafe items after being notified, Shein did not respond and AliExpress dismissed the findings. 尽管自2022年以来对纽扣电池规定了强制性安全标准,但这些标准不适用于在线市场上的第三方销售商,从而留下了监管漏洞。 Despite mandatory safety standards for button batteries since 2022, they do not apply to third-party sellers on online marketplaces, leaving a regulatory gap. 选择正在敦促制定更强有力的法律,要求包括平台在内的所有卖方承担责任,并向澳大利亚竞争和消费者委员会报告了调查结果。 Choice is urging stronger laws to hold all sellers, including platforms, accountable and has reported findings to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
