Thank you for your question.
The legislation currently is 100 decibels, which is too loud. You can look at international standards. We're looking at legislation that would bring it down to the World Health Organization level of 75 decibels. Once it's set at 75, I'm very confident that Health Canada will continue to react and test those toys that exceed 75 decibels.
In the last meeting we had with Health Canada, over a year ago, they tested 228 toys and one exceeded 100 decibels. They could not give us information on how many exceeded 85 decibels or even 75 decibels.
I'm concerned, as a parent especially, about those toys that exceed 75 decibels and the danger they pose to our children's hearing. The current decibel level is too high. That's why it needs to be looked in either legislation or in regulation.
