Buy-Rite Designs Inc. is recalling 43,000 sets of "Sparkle City" children's metal jewelry. The recalled jewelry contains high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
The recalled charm bracelets have silver-colored star and butterfly charms, and clear and pink beads that hang from a silver-colored chain. The tack pins are silver butterflies or stars with clear and pink beads.
The jewelry was sold at Big Lots stores nationwide from August 2005 through April 2007 for about $1. It was made in China.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled jewelry away from children and return it to the store where purchased for a full refund. If unable to return it to the stores, contact Buy-Rite for information on how to receive a refund.
