La Femme NY Inc. is recalling about 4,500 children's necklace and earring sets. The recalled jewelry contains high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
The recalled necklace and earring sets have a silver metal chain and a round pendant with a light blue jewel and three jeweled dangling charms.
They were sold at various dollar stores nationwide from October 2005 to April 2007 for about $1 and were made in China.
Consumers should take the jewelry away from children immediately and return it to the store where it was purchased to receive a full refund.
Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact La Femme NY 2 Inc. at (866) 667-5369 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firms Web site at www.lafemmeny.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).
