Health Canada has determined from test results obtained from the company that the recalled toy contains the toxic substance, bronopol. The amount of bronopol in the product may be at a level that is considered to be toxic and is strictly prohibited in Canada if the substance can be released from the toy on breakage. The Spider Sense Splat Shot liquid-filled balls have demonstrated the potential to burst and therefore can be accessible causing irritation and inflammation to the skin and eyes.
Health Canada has received one incident report, and Tech4Kids Inc. received two additional incident reports. One incident resulted in a child suffering from irritation and inflammation to the face and eyes.
For some tips to help consumers choose safe toys and to help them keep children safe when they play with toys, see Health Canada's: Toy Safety Tips.

The recalled pieces of jewellery may contain lead in excess of the allowable limits. In addition, these pieces of jewellery may contain cadmium in excess of guidance levels proposed recently by Health Canada.
The Impulse! & Co. skull cell phone charm is included in this recall as it may also contain high levels of lead and cadmium.

In extreme cases, there have been deaths.
Neither Health Canada nor Deejay Jewellery Inc. has received any reports of incidents or illnesses related to the use of this product.

| Hazard Identified
|
In Canada these items are considered toys. Testing initiated by TOMY determined the surface coating on the Case and John Deere products contained barium levels in excess of the allowable limit as outlined in Canada's Toy Regulations.
Some forms of barium are safely used in medical and commercial applications, while other forms of barium can be toxic, causing adverse health effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and cramps as well as more severe symptoms. However, an independent toxicological review and exposure assessment has been performed which determined that no adverse health effects are expected in children resulting from exposure to barium from these toys.
Children's toys coated with paint containing barium in excess of the allowable limit are strictly prohibited in Canada.
Neither TOMY nor Health Canada has received any reports of incidents or illnesses to Canadians related to the use of these toys.
For some tips to help consumers choose safe toys and to help them keep children safe when they play with toys, see Health Canada's: Toy Safety Tips.

Once ignited, the sleepwear can burn rapidly and cause severe burns to large areas of the child's body, resulting in shock and sometimes death.

In addition, children can fall out of the crib when the drop-side rail falls unexpectedly or detaches from the crib. Drop-side rail failures can also occur due to incorrect assembly or with age-related wear and tear.
No incidents or injuries involving the recalled drop side cribs were reported to Health Canada.

GRIGRI 2 Belay Device with Assisted Braking Recalled by Petzl America, Inc.
Joint, Voluntary Recall with Petzl America, Inc., Health Canada, and the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC)
The recalled product is a belay device with assisted braking for rock climbing. It is available in grey, blue, and orange.
The first five digits of the serial numbers of devices affected by this recall range from 10326 to 11136. The serial number is engraved on the body of the product underneath and protected by the folded handle.
The following table outlines the model numbers and UPC included in this recall:
| Model Number |
UPC |
| D14 2O |
3342540090767 |

| D14 2B |
3342540090750 |
|
| Companies
|
PETZL SAS of Crolles, France
|
| Hazard Identified
|
Petzl has discovered that exerting excessive force on the fully extended handle of the GRIGRI 2 can cause internal damage to the product, such that the GRIGRI 2 handle may become stuck in the open position. When the handle is stuck in this position the assisted braking function is disabled. A damaged GRIGRI 2 in this configuration will function similarly to a manual belay device (e.g. tube style device).
When using a damaged GRIGRI 2, failure to control the braking side of the rope will increase the risk of an uncontrolled descent, posing a fall hazard to consumers.
Petzl has received one report in the US, and seven reports worldwide concerning the failure of the device due to misuse. There has been no report of injury.
Health Canada has not received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these belay devices.
|
| Corrective Action
|
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled device and contact Petzl America by e-mail with your complete postal address in order to initiate an exchange.
For more information, consumers may contact Petzl America, Inc. toll-free at 1-800-932-2978 or by email.
Consumers may view the release by the US CPSC on the Commission's website.
