Lead Poisoning Hazard Prompts Cardinal Distributing to Again Recall Children's Rings
07174 · Recalled 2007-05-02 · CPSC page
Description
The recalled rings are silver with either dice or horseshoes on top. The numbers on some of the dice are painted in various colors, others are not painted. The horseshoes have either pink and green or purple and yellow painted polka dots.
Hazards
The rings contain high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. These rings were subject to the July 2004 recall of 150 million pieces of children's metal jewelry. The firm placed the recalled rings that it had pulled from stores back into circulation.
Reported injuries
None reported.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately take the recalled rings away from children and throw the rings away.
