Reported risk: Yo-yo type balls and similar products are banned in Canada because they present a hidden risk of strangulation to children. Also, the weighted hands on these balls can become detached, thereby releasing small metallic beads which can pose choking and aspiration hazards to children. Health Canada has been made aware of one incident in Canada where the weighted hands became detached from this product. No injuries were reported. For some tips to help consumers choose safe toys and to help them keep children safe when they play with toys, see Toy Safety .
