Issue
The recalled product contains phthalates in the butt cap of the racquet. Studies suggest that certain phthalates may cause reproductive and developmental abnormalities in young children when soft vinyl products containing phthalates are sucked or chewed for extended periods.
As of October 17, 2025, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.
