"Thousands of toys and children's costume jewellery items were recalled in Toronto, after a Toronto Star investigation found they contained dangerously high levels of lead.
Lead was found in about one in every four products bought at 18 retailers in the Greater Toronto Area.
Most were made in China.
For example, a scrapbook charm sold at Dollarama was so poisonous Health Canada determined a child could die from swallowing the penny-sized bauble. "Super Dooper Charms" jewellery-making kit recalled by the government in July 2008 but were sold nevertheless.
Another lead-contaminated item was a baby pacifier that was sold at Everything For a Dollar in Scarborough.
A Hannah Montana bracelet bought at Wal-Mart was loaded with lead. Toronto Star tested the bracelet's rhinestones using two high-tech methods and found lead at 445 times the legal limit.
Toxic amounts of lead were found in "Lead Free" jewellery kits, cuddly stuffed animal dressed as a Mountie, and thousands other toys.
More than 900 of the lead-containing baby items had been distributed nationwide since January 2006.
