Nike Bauer Hockey Sticks: May be harmful if swallowed

Bauer Hockey Corp. is recalling the Nike Bauer Supreme One50 composite hockey stick JR-52 due to excessive lead levels detected by Health Canada.

An estimated 7,657 of the sticks were sold at sport equipment stores across Canada. They carry the UPC number 440004249959.

The yellow and black hockey stick is distributed under the brand name "Nike Bauer." The excessive amount of lead — which can lead to neurological problems in children if ingested — was found in the yellow paint through testing.

Health Canada said it has not received any reports of illness stemming from the contaminated paint on the hockey stick.

The company is advising consumers to stop using the hockey stick immediately and to contact Bauer at 1-888-734-0443 for a replacement.
