Health Canada recalls Disney lipsticks

Disney-branded Princess lipstick and lip gloss packs marketed to girls at Dollarama stores across the country were recalled on Monday after Health Canada found excessive levels of lead in the decorative sticker glued on the external cap.


In addition to recalling 28,800 units, the importer, Centura Brands Inc. of Mississauga, announced the voluntary withdrawal of another 172,000 units of lip gloss combo packs manufactured by the same supplier as a "precautionary measure."


Centura imported the products from China. They were sold exclusively to the discount chain since April 2008.


The products, pitched to little girls as young as three, pose a health risk because if ingested by young children, lead can cause adverse health effects, Health Canada said in a statement.


Consumers should either remove the decorative plastic Princess stickers from the external cap of the lip gloss and lipstick and throw them out, or throw away the lip gloss and lipstick.


The products can also be returned to local Dollarama stores for an exchange or refund
