Bauer Hockey is recalling about 100,000 kids' hockey sticks over lead concerns. Thirteen models of sticks failed to meet the acceptable standard for lead content following a Health Canada test back in February. Health Canada told Bauer that paint on a randomly selected stick had tested high.

The company has issued a global stop sale order on the 11 models and is telling parents of kids with the sticks to call 1-888-734-0443. Bauer says it will take the sticks back and replace them with a free, elite level stick.

*Bauer had initially included the Nike Bauer Vapor XXX Lite “Woody” Junior Stick and the Nike Quest Apollo Junior Blade among the products subject to the stop sale notice on a precautionary basis while awaiting tests results for these two products. Bauer has since received test results that show both products satisfy the applicable consumer product safety standards in the U.S. and Canada.
