Reported risk: Testing by Health Canada on the Zolo Zippy Buggy revealed that the surface paint on the toy contains barium in excess of the allowable limit. Some forms of barium are safely used in medical and commercial applications, while other forms of barium can be toxic, causing adverse health effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and cramps as well as more severe symptoms. Children's toys coated with paint containing barium, in excess of the allowable limit, are strictly prohibited in Canada. Kushies Baby is extending the recall to include the Zolo Zippy Ozlo and the Zolo Zippy Scoot, as these toys may present the same hazard. Health Canada has not received reports of illness or injury to Canadians related to the use of these toys.
