I didn't see an official link, but here is one updating the status on second-hand stores: http://www.wyff4.com/money/18453746/detail.html

Seems it only applies to 'new' toys.

The new law is almost as ridiculous as the ban on text messaging while driving in Arizona. It's impossible to enforce.

It reminds me a lot of the smoking ban we have in Ohio. They way the law reads, you're susposed to report anyone smoking in a public building, or within 30 feet of one. Not only does no one report it, the police in my town say they don't have the time or manpower to investigate IF anyone did report. I think this law is the same.

That makes more sense.
