Nike Bauer Hockey Stick Recalls

Bauer Hockey Corp. is recalling 13 models of junior hockey sticks due to excessive lead levels in the sticks' paint.

In March 2010, Health Canada announced Bauer Hockey Corp.'s recall of the Nike Bauer Supreme One50 composite hockey stick JR-52 due to excessive lead levels detected by the health agency in random testing.

Steve Jones, Bauer's director of global marketing, told CBC News on Thursday that following that recall, the company decided to independently test 200 other junior sticks for lead. All of the affected sticks were manufactured in China between 2004 and 2006, with one exception.
