What does the bill do?

The proposal defines a "dangerous toy" as a toy that the Minister of Economy has declared dangerous, where such a declaration will be made if the toy may cause bodily harm, cause fear or panic, is flammable or explosive, or imitates a firearm. The proposal provides that a manufacturer or importer of a dangerous toy will be liable to seven years' imprisonment, and a person who possesses a dangerous toy to four years' imprisonment. The proposal replaces an existing arrangement set in an emergency order from 1986.
