Ryder, from the article : U.S. retail giants Wal-Mart and Toys "R" Us have banned toys with phthalates. In Canada, however, Wal-Mart Canada says it has no way of knowing whether stores have removed them until they undertake compliance testing in 2009.

So I guess some of the toys still could be on the shelves in Canada that were recalled by the other areas.....but no new toys with those chemicals are being sent to Canada.
