Bauer recalls youth and junior hockey sticks, shafts, and blades sold in the U.S. and Canada due to excessive lead paint. Consumers should stop using immediately and contact for replacement or refund.
Paint and decals on the sticks, shafts and blades contain excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.
Bauer is recalling children's hockey sticks, shafts, and blades sold in the U.S. and Canada because they contain excessive lead paint, which violates federal safety standards. This poses a risk of lead poisoning in children who may come into contact with the paint.
Lead paint on the sticks, shafts, and blades can be ingested or absorbed through skin contact by children. This can cause lead poisoning, which may lead to developmental delays, learning difficulties, and other health issues.
Children who use the recalled hockey sticks, shafts, or blades are at risk of lead poisoning. Parents and caregivers of young players in the U.S. and Canada are most affected.
Look for the brand name "Bauer" and model descriptions like "Supreme One50 Junior" or "Vapor XVI Junior" on the sticks. Junior sticks have markings such as "JUNIOR" or "52 Flex" on the narrow side of the shaft. Replacement blades have "P92" or "PM9" followed by "JR".
Take the recalled sticks, shafts, and blades away from children right away to prevent lead exposure.
Reach out to Bauer directly to arrange for a replacement or refund for the recalled items.
Consumers should take the recalled sticks, shafts and blades away from children immediately and contact Bauer for a replacement or refund.
No, only specific junior and youth sticks with model names like "Supreme One50 Junior" or "Vapor XVI Junior" are affected.
Check for markings like "JUNIOR" or "52 Flex" on the narrow side of the shaft. Junior replacement blades have "P92" or "PM9" followed by "JR".
The hazard is lead poisoning from paint exposure, not physical injury. However, lead poisoning can cause serious health effects in children.
