Nintendo pins, storage bins recalled over lead levels, Dora P-J's over fire hazard

OTTAWA - Health Canada has issued three consumer product recalls, two over concerns about high levels of lead.
An unknown number of Nintendo character-themed lapel pins featuring 12 characters are being recalled over lead concerns.
Nintendo began selling and distributing the Chinese-made promotional pins in April 2004, and stopped selling and distributing them in November 2007.
Also, pink storage bins imported from Taiwan by Lowe's Companies Canada are being recalled over concern surface paint on the storage bins could contain excessive levels of lead. Only about 65 of the bins were sold at Lowe's retail outlets in Ontario between December 2007 and February 2008.
And about 300 sets of Dora the Explorer pajamas imported by Montreal-based Adorable Kids Inc. and sold by Sears Canada retail outlets between February and March are being recalled over a potential fire hazard. Health Canada says if a child is too close to a flame, the sleeve could catch fire.
No injuries or illnesses have been reported in association with any of the products.
