Yo-yo balls have been banned in Canada because they pose a safety risk, the federal department warned Wednesday.
No associated incidents have been reported.
About 144 yo-yo balls were distributed in Canada from September 2008 to November 2008. The balls were made in China and imported by Toronto-based Incredible Novelties Inc.
