This Star Trek toy set was recalled because some coatings contain high levels of barium.
Health Canada testing found the coatings of some parts of the toy set, specifically, the bridge of the USS Enterprise, contains barium in excess of the allowable limit.
Barium exposure can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and cramps, however no reports of illness have been reported. Just under 1,000 units have been sold.
Health Canada has advised that the balloon set and USS Enterprise can the thrown out in regular household garbage but that they should contact their municipality for instructions on how to dispose of the eyeball.
