The ISO project was kicked off by Swedish surgeon Martin Dahlberg who realised he was increasingly performing operations to remove sex toys lodged in the rectum.
To comply with the new ISO standards, manufacturers of sex toys must use “body-safe” material in the event of contact with the genital and anal areas, use a design to minimise the risk of injury during reasonable and predictable use, and provide sufficient information. While the ISO standards ban toxic or allergenic materials such as phthalates, alkyl phenols or cadmium, Ms Rose said another problem was porous “realistic feel” materials that could not be cleaned properly and bred bacteria.
Ms Williams said the Australian government should regulate the industry, including to ensure safe disposal because electronic sex toys such as vibrators were e-waste and could not be disposed of in the roadside rubbish collection.
niltiac This is a billion dollar industry, they should have very good health standards to protect the consumers.
niltiac Surely the consumers will be protected if they wear a condom?
