In Canada, it is very much a grey area.

Having a model use a barbie doll as a dildo is a no win.

But using brand name stuff exactly as it is designed to be used, is almost certainly legal. After all, you are buying it. You are not licencing it.

But litigation is expensive.

Though the lawsuit can be great publicity.
