Chinese product safety authorities said on Wednesday the latest lab tests in China have shown that toys recalled by Mattel Inc. for a third time are up to the Chinese and European standards and are safe for children around the world.

The problem was that the United States imposes a different measurement of lead content from other countries, the General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (GAQSIQ) said in a report.

No issues here folks, move right along.

China requires the lead release should be kept under 90 mg per kilogram, which is in line with the international standard (ISO8124-3) and the European standard (EN 71-3). But the United States adds an extra standard to limit the lead content to 600 mg per kilogram, the administration said.

This is absurd. The idea that China tests any product for sale in China is a farce (other than some recent interest in blood and pharmaceuticals).

Difference in standards was a main reason why the country's exports to some countries were frequently alleged to be problematic in quality, said the watchdog.

Yes. Some countries have standards.
