Health Canada warns that certain children’s jewellery available on Amazon.ca contain lead in excess of allowable limits
Summary
Immediately take the affected jewellery away from children and dispose of them according to municipal hazardous waste guidelines.
Affected products
This alert involves SUZUTOY Charm Bracelet Making Kit for Girls, for children over 4 years old. The arts and craft kit contains various beads and pendants, adjustable bracelets, hair clips, keychain and rope necklaces. "Hello Princess" and "You Are My Little Princess Beautiful" is written on the pink gift box.
Issue
Health Canada’s sampling and evaluation program has determined that the jewellery contains lead in excess of allowable limits.
Under the Children's Jewellery Regulations of the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, it is illegal to import, advertise or sell jewellery items that appeal primarily to children under 15 years of age and contain more than 90 mg/kg total lead.
Lead and cadmium are highly toxic, especially to children. A range of serious health effects have been associated with exposure to lead and cadmium, including anemia, vomiting, diarrhea, serious brain injury, convulsions, coma, as well as effects related to the liver, kidneys, heart and immune system. In extreme cases, there have been deaths.
For more information on the risks and symptoms of lead exposure and cadmium exposure, visit the Government of Canada’s website page Lead and cadmium in children's jewellery.
