Hazard identified
Health Canada's testing demonstrates that some of the colours used on one of the products contain lead in excess of the allowable level as per the Hazardous Products Act. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. No injuries or illness have been reported to LC Creations.
Although Health Canada testing has identified only one of these furniture lines as containing excess lead, LC Creations and HomeSense have taken the precaution of removing all of these products from retail shelves, not just the one tested.
Number sold
Approximately 1,200 of these products were sold.
Time period sold
From August 16, 2007, through October 15, 2007.
