Illinois AG Warns of Children's Jewelry Recall
"Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan issued an alert on March 21st about a recall of children's necklaces that contain high levels of lead that may be toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. The recall was first by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with Claire's Boutiques Inc.
The recalled children's necklaces have metal pendants shaped as monkeys, dolphins, and frogs holding colored marbles; a fleur de lis painted in various colors; a silver and black fairy; silver-colored letters "BFF" with rhinestones; and tiny handcuffs painted in various colors. The pendants hang from silver-colored chains. "Claire's" or "Claire's best friends forever" is printed on the packaging.
Approximately 58,000 of these necklaces were sold at Claire's retail stores nationwide from December 2005 through December 2006 for between $5 and $11."
