Kid’s Jewelry Recall this week: CHILDREN’S CHARM BRACELETS & RINGS
More children’s jewelry containing the dangerous metal cadmium made the recall list this week. “Happy” charm bracelets and football rings that were handed out at doctor and dentist offices around the country for the past five years were recalled by SmileMakers Inc., of Spartanburg, S.C.
The jewelry contains high levels of cadmium, which is toxic if ingested by children and can cause adverse health effects. About 66,200 charm bracelets and 2,200 rings made in China were recalled.
The “Happy” charm bracelet is comprised of colorful beads on a small elastic band to which a metal charm in the shape of a butterfly, moon or sun is attached. The football ring is a small adjustable metal band to which a football charm (made of metal) is attached.
