Illinois Company Recalls Necklaces -- Risk of Lead Poisoning
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that an Illinois Company is recalling approximately 51,600 necklaces because they are made with high levels of lead. The necklaces are sold under the name Children’s Mood Necklaces and Diva Necklaces. Consumers are warned to stop using the necklaces immediately. See the warning for a full description of the products, including photographs.
Lead is a highly toxic material that can cause brain damage, especially in children. Anyone injured by these products should contact an attorney to determine whether they should bring lead poising cases or product liability cases against the makers of these dangerous products.
