Pecoware Co. Inc is recalling about 2,900 children's metal necklackes. The necklaces contain high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
The recalled necklaces include a cat with silver and pink rhinestones, a heart and lock with pink rhinestones, a silver colored heart with a rhinestone crown, and a silver colored lock and key. The necklaces hang from silver colored chains.
They were sold at department and specialty stores nationwide from January 2006 through July 2007 (cat necklace), and from July 2007 through November 2007 (heart, heart and key, and lock and key necklaces) for about $13.
The necklackes were made in China.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled necklaces away from children and contact Pecoware for instructions on returning the necklaces for a full refund.
