Lead in Toys a Concern

Health Canada says consumers should get rid of two toy sets sold in Canada because they contain excessive amounts of lead -- the Pizza Playset and the Fishing Game. Both items were manufactured (by Ningbo Ftz Zhengbao International Trading Company Ltd.) in China. Health Canada says children can end up with harmful amounts of lead in their systems if they chew, suck on or swallow toys with lead that exceeds allowable limits. Serious health effects can include anemia, vomiting, diarrhea, serious brain injury, convulsions, coma, as well as effects related to the liver, kidneys, heart and immune system. In extreme cases, lead poisoning can result in death.
