 Health Canada is also developing a Lead Risk Reduction Strategy to control 
 lead levels in consumer products that children may be exposed to. It 
 proposes to regulate, under the Hazardous Products Act, the lead content of 
 five categories of consumer products that children are likely to come into 
 contact with, such as: 
  
 Products likely to be ingested in significant quantities (e.g., children's 
 crayons and chalk) 
  
 Products intended to be or likely to be placed in or near the mouth (e.g., 
 pacifiers, baby bottle nipples, crib toys, mouthpieces of musical 
 instruments) 
  
 Children's equipment, furniture, toys and other items intended for use by a 
 child in learning or play (e.g., strollers, high chairs) 
  
 Products intended for use in preparing, serving, or storing food or 
 beverages (e.g., cutlery, tableware, cooking utensils) 
  
 Consumer products intended to be or likely to be melted or burned in 
 enclosed spaces (e.g., candles, fuel for indoor lanterns)
