Since 2019, local market supervision departments have inspected a total of 417000 children and student supplies manufacturers, key supermarkets and wholesale markets (times), and supervised and spot-checked 94000 batches of children and student supplies. Regarding the hidden dangers of consumption in stationery blind boxes, in June last year, the General Administration of Market Supervision issued the "Guidelines for the Code of Conduct for Blind Boxes (Trial)", which clearly regulated the problems in the operation of blind boxes. It mentioned the need to improve the protection mechanism for minors. The age of the blind box sales object is strictly limited, and it is required not to sell to minors under 8 years of age. Blind box operators are required to take effective measures to prevent minors from indulging and protect their physical and mental health. Encourage local authorities to introduce protective measures to promote the purification of the consumption environment around the school.

The purchased products shall be packaged and labeled with complete brand information, implementation standards, precautions, warnings, etc. In addition, the whole society, especially production enterprises and businesses, should take the initiative to assume the social responsibility of protecting the healthy growth of minors, so that children can grow up healthily.
