Acton jewelry craft kits recalled

WASHINGTON, May 7 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Action Products International jewelry craft kits due to risk of lead exposure.

Two kits, the Abalone and Venetian Carnevale Necklace Craft Kits, marketed for children, include necklace clasps with high levels of lead, CPSC said in a statement.

About 2,900 of the craft kits were imported from China by Action Products International Inc. of Ocala, Fla. They were sold nationwide from June 2007 through April 2009 for about $6.

The kits include wire, beads, charms and clasps for assembling necklaces.

Consumers were advised to take the kits and assembled necklaces from children and contact Action Products International for a free replacement.
