Lead is highly toxic, particularly for children, and can cause severe health issues such as anaemia, vomiting, brain injury, and organ damage. Prolonged exposure, even in small amounts, can lead to dangerous lead accumulation in the body.

As of 15 August 2025, no incidents or injuries have been reported in Canada. Health Canada reminds the public that under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, recalled items cannot be resold, redistributed, or given away.
