Children's mood necklaces sold at fairs, amusement parks and small discount stores are being recalled because of a lead poisoning hazard.
The recalled jewelry contains high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
The recalled children's mood necklaces have multi-colored pendants including hearts, moons, dolphins, dragonflies, stars and butterflies that hang from a black cord. "Mood Necklace" is printed on the necklace's packaging.
The necklaces were sold at carnivals, amusement parks, family entertainment centers, and small discount stores nationwide, and through Rhode Island Novelty's Web site, www.rinovelty.com, from August 2005 through December 2006 for about $1.
Consumers should immediately take this recalled jewelry away from children and return it to the store where purchased or to Rhode Island Novelty for a free replacement jewelry item.
