'It's a Girl Thing' Jewelry Recalled

Bead Bazaar USA is recalling about 13,000 sets of “It’s a Girl Thing” Bracelets, Necklaces, and Phone Charms.

The children’s jewelry could contain high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

This recall involves “It’s a Girl Thing” metal necklaces, bracelets, and phone charms. The jewelry features a variety of charms including flowers, shoes, letters and butterflies. “It’s a Girl Thing” is printed on the packaging along with the UPC numbers 633870018419 (bracelet), 633870018426 (necklace), and 633870018433 (phone charm).

The jewelry, made in China, was sold at retailers nationwide from February 2006 through June 2008 for about $6.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled jewelry away from children and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
