WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of about 2,900 Chinese-made children's metal necklaces due to a health hazard.
The CPSC said the necklaces, imported by the Pecoware Co. Inc. of Chino, Calif., contain high levels of lead.
The recalled necklaces include a cat with silver and pink rhinestones, a heart and lock with pink rhinestones, a silver colored heart with a rhinestone crown, and a silver colored lock and key. The necklaces hang from silver-colored chains.
The cat necklaces were sold nationwide from January 2006 through July 2007, with the others sold from July 2007 through November 2007 for about $13.
Consumers can contact Pecoware at 800-456-7326 for instructions on returning the necklaces for a full refund.
