Careful, these toys are really shocking

Chen Guangqiong, a teacher at Paotongshu Primary School in Chengdu, Sichuan province, asked parents of her students on Thursday to keep an eye on what toys their kids are playing with.

Toys that can deliver an electric shock have been found on primary and middle school campuses in parts of the country, she said on WeChat, an instant-messaging app.

The warning came in the wake of media reports that such toys resembling chocolate, ballpoint pens, chewing gum and handguns are being sold in shops near primary and middle schools in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region's capital, Nanning.
