Reported risk: In Canada these items are considered toys. Testing initiated by TOMY determined the surface coating on the Case and John Deere products contained barium levels in excess of the allowable limit as outlined in Canada's Toy Regulations . 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. However, an independent toxicological review and exposure assessment has been performed which determined that no adverse health effects are expected in children resulting from exposure to barium from these toys. Children's toys coated with paint containing barium in excess of the allowable limit are strictly prohibited in Canada. Neither TOMY nor Health Canada has received any reports of incidents or illnesses to Canadians related to the use of these toys. For some tips to help consumers choose safe toys and to help them keep children safe when they play with toys, see Health Canada's: Toy Safety Tips .
