Reported risk: The surface coating on the basketball from the set contains lead in excess of the allowable limit. Lead can be toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. In cooperation with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC) and Health Canada, American Greetings Corp. is voluntarily recalling these mini sport ball sets. Neither American Greetings Corp. nor Health Canada has received reports of illness or injury related to the use of these sports balls. For more information on the risks and symptoms of lead exposure, visit Health Canada's: It's Your Health: Lead and Human Health .
