Comments.Text: You mean random bricks as addition to existing elements needed for a set? That's an odd thing to hear. From my point of view, reducing the size of the box helps dealing with such law (which I never heard of too). And I think this has already happened with some sets, like 10242 Mini Cooper.

  In some countries, there is a law that toy boxes need to filled with at least a fixed percentage of the total volume of the box.
  I know Lego addresses this by adding random Lego.
  At least, I've been assured this during a Lego seminar by a Lego employee (probably community manager) at one of the fanweekend events (Paredes de Coura or Skaerbaek).
  
  However, does anyone have a reference for this, perhaps pictures of what random Lego is added?

  Not sure if this is a partial answer, but an example is quoted in the act to repeal parts of the Californian (USA) slack-fill legislation:
  
  *Toys. Lego has been sued for slack fill on its "Aqua Zone" building sets. The boxes which contain the sets are uniform in size, and contain from 29 to 33 pieces, depending on the set. Each box contains an "actual size" representation of the pieces and a clear and conspicuous disclosure as to the number of pieces.*
