Health Canada recalls Halloween cop costume due to possible chemical hazard
CANADA – Health Canada has issued a recall on various Spirit Halloween police uniform costumes that were sold between September 2022 and October 2022.
The recall specifically involves the police hats in each of the sets, as they may contain lead in excess of the allowable limit established by the Consumer Products Containing Lead Regulations.
A range of serious health effects have been associated with exposure to lead and cadmium, including anemia, vomiting, diarrhea, heart and immune system.
Lead is extremely toxic, and even more so to children.
