After testing a junior stick – the Nike Bauer Supreme One50 – from a Vancouver store, Health Canada discovered the yellow paint contained a lead level of 23,000 milligrams per kilogram, about four times above the allowable limit. Subsequent tests over a three-week period by Bauer on its remaining 200 models of children’s sticks revealed that 12 others, made in a Chinese facility, were above the allowed lead limit.
Most of the sticks are older models: Twelve of them were manufactured prior to 2008. Consumers are being advised to stop using the sticks immediately and call Bauer Hockey at 1-888-734-0443 for a replacement.
