Roskachestvo will review toys depicting Cheburashka, according to the department’s website. The press service noted the great expectation around the famous character after the release of the film of the same name. Because of this, the market was flooded with products of very different quality.
It is noted that against the background of the popularity of the film, many different products appeared on the market, mainly of Chinese production. You can buy them in Russian markets.
The department reports that they have already received more than one complaint from consumers about the quality of this type of product. The safety of these toys is often questioned in parenting communities as well. Most often they complain about the “chemical” smell and manufacturing defects.
“Laboratory tests of Cheburashka toys will include an extensive list of safety indicators, including the release of harmful chemical substances, toxicity, irritant action, various microbiological indicators,” Roskachestvo said in a statement.
In addition, the department examines the strength of the products, the resistance of the paint and checks the certificates of conformity. The purchase will be made in marketplaces and specialized children’s stores.
Previously, Soyuzmultfilm required Ozon and Wildberries to remove counterfeit products referencing a famous person from sale due to copyright.
The film “Cheburashka”, directed by Dmitry Dyachenko, became the highest-grossing film in the history of Russian distribution, surpassing “Avatar”, which held the championship for 13 years. In March last year, the largest Hollywood movie studios stopped showing their new products in Russia in connection with the hostilities in Ukraine.
