Parragon Books Children's Necklaces
The notice asks people to return it — see below for how.
What’s wrong
Solder on the charm of the necklace may contain high levels of lead, which if ingested by young children can cause adverse health effects.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
