Playmates Toys is recalling about 252,000 sets of Tiny Tink toy jewelry sets. A cylindrical metal connector on a charm can contain levels of total lead in excess of 300 ppm, which is prohibited under federal law.
This recall involves charms sold with the Tiny Tink and Friends toy jewelry sets. The charm is attached to a cord using a metal ring and cylinder and included with the sets as a separate accessory that children can attach to the toy necklace, bracelet or key chain. The toy jewelry sets containing the charm accessory were sold in a variety of styles:
| Item # | UPC # | Description |

Charms that have plastic tabs instead of metal rings and cylinders are not included in this recall.
The charms were sold at retailers nationwide from November 2008 through November 2009 for between $6 and $8. They were made in China.
Consumers should immediately take the charm and cord away from children, discard the items, and contact Playmates Toys for a replacement charm accessory.
