MEPs vote to ban endocrine disruptors from toys. “We are sending a clear signal for the protection of children.
It is a regulation adapted to our times,” declared Marion Walsmann, German MEP. To check the presence of these chemical substances, MEPs voted to establish a digital passport which must “contain all information on the conformity of toys”. Despite the rules in force, many non-compliant toys end up in the European Union, in particular because they were purchased online.
