slime

Writer's picture: MichaelaMichaela

Hiiii!!! Today, I'm gonna write about slime. Many of you probably touched slime before. But did you know that slime causes burns to your body?

1.All over the world

Parents have been warned that a large number of children’s slime-based toys could contain more than four times the EU safety limit of a chemical called Boron.

After conducting an investigation, ​consumer group 'Which?' found that eight out of 11 commonly-bought slime products breached EU regulations due to the amount of Boron they contain.

Consequently, the consumer company is advising parents to “approach slime with caution” and has urged them to be wary of homemade alternatives too, as some of they often call for borax, made up of Boron, which is often used as a cleaning product and has been linked to causing serious burns in children.

According to Which?, excessive levels of Boron may also cause vomiting, cramps and irritation and the European Commission warns that high levels may also adversely affect fertility.

Of the products tested, the worst slime toy in terms of Boron levels was Toysmith Jupiter Juice, which contains 1,400mg/kg of Boron - more than four times over the permitted level of 300mg/kg.

2.Korea On October 23rd, the Korean consumer agency went to20 slime cafes, and tested 100 ingredients for slime, and the base slime. They found 19 of them was more dangerous than the 'Okay' rate. The figures(?) that makes the touch better, 13of 40 of them got more *pthalate than the 'not that dangerous' rate. The highest rate has 766times more than the 'not that harmful, Okay'rate!!!!

So, don't buy or make slime any more if you want to be healthy!!!!

*pthalate=makes plastic weaker, and can start CANCER to the liver, heart, lung, and kidny.
