Cherrydale Fundraising is recalling about 45,000 stretchable aqua bracelets. The bracelets contain high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
The recalled bracelets are stretchable, with silver-colored square links and aqua-colored beads. SKU#5384706813 is printed on the packaging.
The bracelets were sold at dollar stores, liquidators, and schools as part of fundraising, nationwide from September 2003 through April 2007 for between $1 and $12. They were made in China.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bracelets and take them away from young children. Return them to the store where purchased or contact the firm to receive a full refund.
For additional information, contact Cherrydale Fundraising at (800) 333-2565 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firms Web site at www.cherrydale.com.
The recall is one of several that resulted from an investigation by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
