Brian announced a new legislative initiative to crack down on dangerous toys this morning at the General Assembly Building in Richmond. He was joined by Delegate Shannon Valentine from Lynchburg who is working with Brian on the legislation.

“As the father of two young children I know how important safe toys are to our families during this holiday season,” said Brian. “No parent should worry about their child going to the Emergency Room because of a toy they received Christmas morning.”

The new “Toy Safety Act” provides new protections from dangerous toys by directing the Office of the Attorney General and the Department of Health to remove recalled toys from the shelves in Virginia and to consider the development of standards for toys here in the Commonwealth, mandates new regulations for our Child Daycare Council to keep dangerous toys away from kids, and creates a new civil penalty for stores that knowingly sell recalled toys in Virginia.
