Lead Poisoning Hazard Prompts Cardinal Distributing to Again Recall Children's Rings
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
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.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Lead exposure risk.
