WASHINGTON, July 3 (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.

Consumers can also call Bead Bazaar USA at 800-838-1769 for more information.
