Lead Violations on Two Playsets Force Health Canada Recall


A duo of products produced my Chinese manufacturer Ningbo Ftz Zhenbao International Trading Company are being recalled through a Health Canada Product Safety Alert.  During routine sapling and testing, Health Canada discovered that the surface coatings on these sets contain levels of lead above the allowable limits.

Lead is extremely toxic to young children if the lead paint is chewed, sucked, or ingested.  Exposure to high levels of lead can results in short-term illness including vomiting and diarrhea, as well as long-term condition such as serious brain injury, convulsions, coma, anemia, as well as damage to liver, kidneys, heart and the immune system. Serious cases of lead poisoning can lead to death.


The first product is The Pizza Playset, a set of plastic pizza slices, plastic kitchen tools and condiments.  The UPC barcode printed on the packaging is 094922130778.



The second product is The Fishing Game, a playset including one fishing pole and five plastic fish.  The UPC barcode printed on the packaging is 094922553980.

Consumers who have purchased either of these playsets are advised to stop using them immediately and discard them so they are inaccessible to children.
