Just in time to check for small holiday gifts, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and Stravina Operating Corporation are recalling six million children's necklaces and zippers.
According to the federal agency, the recalled jewelry and zippers have high levels of "accessible lead", which can be toxic to children if ingested. The agency also said that no incidents or injuries had been reported.
The recalled necklaces are silver-colored with individual names painted in variety of colors. The nameplate on the necklace hangs from a 16-inch black cord. The necklace packages are marked “Personalized Necklace” and “Stravina”. UPC Code 0-35203-00039-7 is on the necklace package.
The recalled zipper pulls are silver-colored with individual names that come in various colors. The zipper pull hangs from a silver-colored metal clip designed to attach to a backpack, a keyring, and zippers on clothing. Printed on the zipper pull’s packaging is “Personalized Zipper Pull,” “Great for Backpacks and Keyrings too” and “Stravina.” UPC Code 0-35203-00038-0 is written on the package.
The recalled metal necklaces and zipper pulls were sold at discount, toy, party, grocery and drug stores from March 2002 through September 2005 for between $2 and $4. All of the jewelry was manufactured in China.
Consumers should immediately take this metal jewelry away from children and contact Stravina for a free replacement product at (800) 964-0029 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.
