Reported risk: Health Canada is warning the Canadian public to discard all children's metal toy jewellery obtained from vending machines because it may contain dangerous levels of lead. If ingested or put in the mouth, the jewellery poses a risk of lead poisoning. This follows a voluntary recall in Canada and the United States involving over 100 million pieces of jewellery from four different firms. The four firms are A & A Global Industries, Inc. of Cockeysville, Maryland; Brand Imports, LLC, of Scottsdale, Arizona; Cardinal Distributing Co. Ltd. of Baltimore, Maryland; and L.M. Becker & Co. , Inc. of Kimberly, Wisconsin.
