Sweden found toys with prohibited substances

Recently, Swedish Kemi published a report on toys sold in Sweden. In the report, almost one tenth of toy products contain prohibited substances at illegal level, like phthalates in soft plastic toys and lead in electronic products. The illegal products have been withdrawn from the market and some of the responsible companies have been asked to report detail of how this happened to enforcement authorities.

According to Kemi, this investigation has been jointly conducted by Kemi, the Swedish National Electrical Safety Board, and the Swedish Consumer  Agency. This investigation will be kept going on this year.

This investigation started last year, including 90 toys products.
