Christmas stockings look likely to be a little lighter this year because of a new EU edict on toy safety.
Many traditional filler toys are being banned because they do not conform to tough regulations imposed by Brussels.
Party blowers, magnetic fishing games, toy lipsticks, whistles and recorders are among the favourites deemed too dangerous.
And within the next 18 months ‘scratch and sniff’ toys such as the strawberry-smelling Lots-O’-Hugging’ bear, featured in Toy Story 3, will be banned because chemicals are used to create the fragrance.
The stringent regulations form part of the Toy Safety Directive, which has just come into force.
