Relates to hazardous toys and other articles intended for use by children

S 4181 amends New York's toy safety law to explicitly prohibit the sale or distribution of toys contaminated with toxic substances, such as lead-based paint exceeding federal limits or hazardous stuffing materials. It directly affects toy manufacturers, sellers, and distributors of children's products in New York by requiring compliance with specific safety standards. Key provisions define "toxic substance" to include lead, arsenic, mercury, or unsafe materials in coatings, stuffing, or production conditions, and ban toys posing electrical, mechanical, or thermal hazards. The Attorney General can enforce this through lawsuits seeking injunctions and civil penalties up to $4,000 per willful violation.
