« It's college rejection season again | Main | Easter Egg kit reviews » Wednesday, April 4, 2007Bracelet recall
The price certainly was right -- 25 cents -- which may account for why 4 million were sold. But the US Consumer Product Safety Commission announced today that the Groovy Grabber bracelets by A&A GLobal Industries are being recalled because the paint on the metallic band beneath the decoration contains high levels of lead. If the decoration chipped off and someone mouthed the bracelet, it could be dangerous. The bracelets were sold in vending machines in malls and discount and grocery stores from 2005 until now. Because not every recall makes headlines the way the tainted pet food did, it's worth checking out the US Consumer Product Safety Commission recall page now and then. Far fewer of them were sold, only 18,500, but what's worth noting is that this is the second time in two years that Target has recalled a toy made by Little Tree. Posted by Barbara Meltz at 02:34 PM
