"The 2004 ‘Chemicals in Toys’ project, which lasted for eight months with the participation of consumer organisations from nine European countries and the support of the Danish Technological Institute, came to some disturbing findings.
The international research which measured the content of various chemicals in toys also produced something interesting. Of the 83 toys sampled, in just 15 were there no traces whatsoever of these chemicals. Among these 15 ‘clean’ toys, the majority, nine to be precise, were from a group of plastic toys that did not contain phthalates.
Perhaps this was a side-effect of the ban on the use of phthalates introduced at the end of 1999. The industry has also replaced other chemicals in toys, since the regularity of the legislative direction could be approved on the basis of the precautionary principle."@en1
