Reported risk: Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has revealed that the recalled paints contain lead and do not have the required warning statements for lead on their labels. Paints used by adults in arts, crafts, or hobbies that contain lead over a specified level are required by Canadian law to have bilingual warning statements on their labels. The lack of appropriate English and French warnings on the label could result in the products being used improperly, and thereby unintentionally exposing the user to lead. Lead is a toxic heavy metal and can cause adverse health effects if ingested. Neither Health Canada nor ARTiculations has received reports of incidents or injuries to Canadians related to the use of the recalled paints.
