Bauer Expands Recall of Kid's Hockey Sticks

by BReynolds on Mar 19, 2010 12:32 PM CDT

A bit ago, we posted a quick story about high levels of lead in children's hockey sticks made by Nike / Bauer. Today, Bauer announced that recall, and it includes upwards of 100,000 sticks sold. Here is the information you will need:

Recalled sticks, from Bauer.com:

Bauer Junior & Youth Stick Stop Sell Affected Models – North America
Nike Bauer Supreme One90 Youth and Junior Stick (sticks, shafts, and replacement
blades)
Nike Bauer Supreme One50 Junior Stick (sticks, shafts and replacement blades)
Nike Bauer Supreme One40 Junior Stick
Nike Bauer Supreme One70 Junior Stick
Nike Bauer/Bauer Supreme One75 Junior Stick (player and goalie sticks)
Nike Bauer/Bauer Vapor XX Junior Stick (player and goalie sticks)
Nike Bauer Supreme LTX Junior Stick
Nike Bauer Apollo Junior Stick
Nike Quest Apollo Junior Blade
Nike Bauer Supreme Force Junior Stick
Nike Bauer Vapor XVI Junior Stick
Nike Bauer Vapor XXX Lite "Woody" Junior Stick
Nike Bauer Supreme Accel Junior Stick

Here the link to the pdf

And some video:

Check your kid's gear, pass this info on to anyone you know with kids in the game. It sounds like all of the sticks were sold pre-2008, but there would still be a ton of them out there. If anyone you know has one of these sticks, we would love to hear from them, please ask them to contact myself or Nathan through the email links at the bottom.

free sticks

Where can I get a bunch of those recalled sticks free? I know they’re looking to unload them and unless you had like 50 of those sticks in direct contact with your body for 8 hours a day for the next 20 years, or you ground them up and ate them or inhaled them, you’re not in any statistically significant increased danger of any problem resulting from lead exposure… So, I’m figurin’ there’s a bunch of these sticks available real cheap to those who wear hockey gloves while holding a hockey stick to play hockey – as versus whatever else you might do with these sticks like oh, say, sleeping with 50 of them – every night – for 20 years – butt naked – while snuggling with them, of course…
