Hazard identified
Health Canada’s sampling and evaluation program has revealed that the recalled products contain lead in excess of the allowable limits. These products were tested and determined to be non-compliant with the Glazed Ceramics and Glassware Regulations requirements for heavy metals.
Lead is highly toxic if ingested by young children, builds up in the body and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, convulsion, coma or even death. Over time, exposure to lead can result in many harmful health effects.
Neither SCR China Trade Inc. nor Health Canada has received reports of illness related to the use of these recalled plates.
For more information on the risks and symptoms of lead exposure, visit the Healthy Canadians page called Reduce your exposure to lead. Consumers may also visit Health Canada's Glazed Ceramics and Glassware Regulations - Dealer Information for information regarding the heavy metals in glazes.
