“Urgent need” to regulate sex toys, Canadian MP says

The Globe and Mail: “The issue is over plastics such as bisphenol A, a controversial chemical in Canada, and phthalates, used to make plastic soft and flexible. Dozens of studies have shown the chemicals may cause hormonal complications at certain levels of exposure, yet both are common in sex toys, which are classified as ‘novelty’ items in Canada and are therefore removed from almost all oversight, Ms. Sedgwick says.”
