NSE Topic: Guangdong bans replica knife toys from schools
Source : By Quan Zhanfu | China Daily | Updated: 2023-11-03 09:41
A "radish knife" toy sold in Hefei, Anhui province. CHINA DAILYSchools and kindergartens in Guangdong province have been asked to ban the recently popular toy knives known as "radish knives" and other similar items as they may pose a threat to students' well-being, according to a notice issued by the Department of Education of Guangdong Province recently.
Resembling a small plastic switchblade, "radish knives" have become popular among young students for their fidget spinner-like action whereby a small flick extends a plastic blade about 5 centimeters in length. Though the blade is plastic, it could still pose a danger if pressed against the skin.
The rising popularity of these toys has raised concerns among parents regarding their potential to incite violence and pose risks to children's safety.
The notice emphasized the need for schools and kindergartens at all levels to enhance safety education and raise awareness among students about the hazards associated with toys such as "radish knives". Schools are encouraged to instruct students to refrain from purchasing, carrying and playing with such items.
Primary and secondary schools and kindergartens are explicitly prohibited from allowing these dangerous toys to enter their premises, with an added focus on monitoring nearby stores. Any discovery of these dangerous toys being sold in stores should be promptly reported to local market supervisory authorities.
Parents are also urged to be vigilant about the potential threats these toys pose to their children and should take responsibility in choosing suitable toys and daily essentials.
To address the growing popularity of "radish knives", experts and officials have expressed concerns about minors' perceptions and behaviors.
Xiong Bingqi, director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, highlighted the importance of children's learning to identify and perceive their surroundings correctly and cautioned against mistakenly believing that knives can be treated like toys, leading to dangerous consequences.
Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary-general of the China Consumer Protection Law Society, pointed out that the marketing and promotion of such toys with violent connotations may be more harmful than the toys themselves, potentially violating relevant laws. Therefore, relevant authorities have been advised to tighten supervision and rectify the situation.

廣東省教育廳發布通知稱，廣東省學校、幼兒園已被要求禁止使用最近流行的“蘿蔔刀”玩具刀等類似物品，因為它們可能對學生的健康構成威脅。
「蘿蔔刀」類似於一把小型塑膠彈簧刀，因其類似指尖陀螺的動作而在年輕學生中流行起來，輕輕一彈即可將塑膠刀片延長約 5 厘米長。 儘管刀片是塑膠的，但如果壓在皮膚上仍然可能造成危險。
這些玩具的日益普及引起了家長的擔憂，擔心它們可能煽動暴力並對兒童的安全構成風險。
通知強調，各級學校、幼兒園要加強安全教育，提高學生對「蘿蔔刀」等玩具危害的認識。 鼓勵學校指導學生不要購買、攜帶和玩耍此類物品。
中小學、幼兒園明確禁止這些危險玩具進入場所，並專注於對附近商店進行監控。 一旦發現商店出售這些危險玩具，應立即向當地市場監管部門報告。
家長也應警惕這些玩具對孩子構成的潛在威脅，並應負責選擇合適的玩具和日常必需品。
為了解決「蘿蔔刀」日益流行的問題，專家和官員對未成年人的觀念和行為表示擔憂。
21世紀教育研究院院長熊丙奇強調了兒童學習正確識別和感知周圍環境的重要性，並告誡不要錯誤地認為刀具可以像玩具一樣對待，從而導致危險的後果。
中國消費者保護法學會副秘書長陳銀江指出，行銷、推廣此類帶有暴力內涵的玩具，其危害可能比玩具本身更大，可能違反相關法律。 為此，建議有關部門加強監管，並嚴肅整改。
