WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
announced a voluntary recall of Bead Bazaar USA children's jewelry due
to lead exposure.
The "It's a Girl Thing" line of bracelets, necklaces and phone charms,
distributed by Bead Bazaar USA of Rockville, Md., contain high levels
of toxic lead, a CPSC statement said.
No injuries have been reported, but 13,000 jewelry pieces were sold
nationwide form February 2006 through June 2008 for about $6.
The jewelry features a variety of charms and has "It's a Girl Thing"
printed on the side of the packaging.
Consumers were advised to take the jewelry from children immediately
and return it to the retailer for a full refund.
