Tons of people. My wife bought a $7 digital camera off of there for one of our kids and 2 years later, both of our kids still love playing with it and it works perfectly fine. We've bought a couple of other toys off of there without issue. But yeah, the majority of the products on there are typically garbage.

Only thing I worry about with toys is if the plastic they use is non-toxic. Most cheap toys sold online aren’t tested for plastic toxicity.

If your kid tries to eat their camera you have bigger issues to worry about.

If you think toxic means harmful only if you eat it, I've got a glow in the dark watch to sell you.

That will match my authentic late 1800s green wallpaper perfectly.

Not the best example, the health risks from radium dials were mostly to the people that painted them, because they licked their brushes to point them.

mostly is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Would you like to buy my glow in the dark watch, then?
