The Governor of the New York State of the USA signed to approve the bills of “Prohibition of yo-yo waterball toys” and “Children's Product Safety and Recall Effectiveness Act of 2008” on September 5, 2008.
Prohibition of yo-yo waterball toys
With effective from December 4, 2008, the prohibition of the sale, importation, manufacturing or distribution of the yo-yo waterball toys will be imposed. According to the act, yo-yo waterball toy means a yo-yo waterball, water yo-yo, or any similar toy made of rubber or rubber-like material consisting of ball that is filled with liquid and attached to an elastic cord with a finger loop at the end.
Children's Product Safety and Recall Effectiveness Act of 2008
This legislation prohibits the sale of recalled toys and other children's products in New York State and requires the sellers of children's products notify consumers of such recalls. The current law does not prohibit the sale or distribution of children's products or durable juvenile products that have been recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), nor is there a requirement for labeling of children's products or durable juvenile products.
