What's being recalled

Silver bracelets and charm necklaces

Units: About 6,700 bracelets and 3,300 necklaces (in addition, 300 bracelets and 100 necklaces sold in Canada)

This recall involves silver heart bracelets and sweet charm necklaces for children. The 6-inch, silver-plated bracelets have 10 silver hearts and circle links, a lobster claw clasp, and one silver heart-shaped charm. The necklaces are gold plated on a 13-inch box chain with a 2-inch extender, a lobster claw closure and three charms - a pink ice cream cone, a pink crystal cupcake and a gold-plated tag with "SWEET" engraved.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The clear surface coating on the bracelets and necklaces contain lead in excess of the allowable limit. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

None reported
