# Major Recall Alert: Milk Pan 24cm Recalled Due to Potential Lead Contamination
Consumers, take note: Shata Traders Inc. of Brooklyn, NY, has issued a significant recall for the Chef Brand Milk Pan 24cm due to its potential to be contaminated with harmful levels of lead (Pb).

## Why This Recall is Important
Lead exposure is a critical health hazard with no known safe level. Even low amounts can lead to significant health complications, particularly in children, due to their smaller body size and developing systems. Here's why the Chef Brand Milk Pan 24cm recall is so vital:
- **Health Risks of Lead:**
- Lead exposure through food can elevate blood lead levels in individuals.
- Children may experience impaired learning abilities, reduced IQ, and behavioral changes with even minimal exposure.
- Adults can suffer from fatigue, headaches, abdominal pain, vomiting, and neurological symptoms at higher exposure levels.
- **FDA Findings:**
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) collected product samples from a retail store and confirmed leachable lead levels, making this milk pan unsafe for food preparation.
It's essential to prioritize safety and remove this product from use immediately to eliminate the risk of lead exposure.
