Well done, I am glad someone noticed.
just another rubbish headline for a rubbish story.
The Telegraph used to be a decent paper, now its just a clone of the Daily Mail.
All this is is an update of the consumer laws from 1988 though they had some very minor changes in 1999, the only real changes are on labels and on the chemicals which can be included in toys for under 14s...unless of course the toy has an engine in which case some cargiogenic substances are still permitted for under 14s toys.
Tell you what though people, if you really believe this legislation bans kids blowing up ballons or using whistles at christmas then give every kid a nice little slingshot to bring to their christmas parties.
Wierd ain't it, slingshots and catapults don't count as toys, neither do a whole pile of other toys...then again just to demonstrate how much this story is just pure bull from a crappy journalist..... balloons don't count as toys so are excluded from the legislation.

Here's one for Sky, he knows more about the legislation in the EU

You have got to be kidding
If that were the case he wouldn't be caught out repeatedly inventing "EU legislation"
In this case he will probably take the maximum permitted levels of arsenic that a toy may contain, treble it and insist it is really the bare minimum that each toy must contain from the secret EU dictat.
