Legislative Proposal

Noisy Toys - In Canada, toys sold, imported, or advertised are covered by a law limiting their decibel level to 100dB . This law dates back over 30 years to 1970. The National Noisy Toys Coalition presented the following recommendation to government as one strategy in addressing this priority:That the Government of Canada revise the noise limit for battery-operated toys and the applicable calculation procedures taking into consideration the various ways that children play with toys.
