Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has revealed that these pieces of jewellery contain lead in excess of the allowable limit. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

Neither Health Canada nor the distributor Groupe Dynamite Inc. has received reports of incidents or illnesses related to the use of these products.
