Creativity Street Foam Rollers recalled due to lead in excess of allowable limits

Issued May 2, 2024
Issue
The handles on the foam rollers contain lead in excess of allowable limits, posing a risk of lead exposure to children. Lead is toxic if ingested, especially to children. A range of serious health effects have been associated with exposure to lead including anemia, vomiting, diarrhea, serious brain injury, convulsions, coma, as well as effects related to the liver, kidneys, heart and immune system. In extreme cases, there have been deaths. Since lead builds up in the body, ongoing exposure to even very small amounts of lead can result in large amounts of lead being present in the body. For more information on the risks and symptoms, visit the Government of Canada's website pages Reduce your exposure to lead and Lead Information Package - Some Commonly Asked Questions About Lead and Human Health . As of April 19, 2024, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada or in the United States.
