Lead accumulates in the body over time, so even low levels of continuous exposure can be harmful, Health Canada added.
So far, there have been no reports of injuries and only three of the toys sold in Canada were on sale between November 2024 and March 2025. But if you have a product (find item number BGE10631 and UPC 696322744489), Health Canada says it should stop it immediately.
