Noisy Toys |
Since partnerning with the Elks and Royal Purple of Canada for a press conference in October, 2006 CASLPA has been working hard to raise awareness of the dangerous effects of noisy toys. In December 2007, in light of recent discussions and public and government concern surrounding toy safety, CASLPA held a second press conference on Parliament Hill to urge government to conduct further study on noise as it relates to toy safety and revise current legislation. Meetings have followed with MPs and additional press releases have been issued in response to government announcements on revisions to the Hazardous Products Act. On May 1, 2008 CASLPA participated in a press conference held by Member of Parliament, Judy Wasylycia-Leis who is introducing a private member's bill advocating the reduction of allowable noise decibel level in toys from the current 100 db to 75 db. After the break in parliament, this bill was re-introduced April 6, 2009.
