Stravina Recalls Children's Metal Necklaces and Zipper Pulls for Lead

Plain-English summary

Stravina Operating Co., LLC, of Chatsworth, Calif., is recalling about 6 million children's metal necklaces and zipper pulls. The products were sold at discount, toy, party, grocery, and drug stores from March 2002 through September 2005 for between $2 and $4. The necklaces are silver-colored with individual names painted in various colors on a 16-inch black cord, while the zipper pulls are silver-colored with names and attach to a metal clip. Both items are marked with "Stravina" and specific UPC codes on the packaging.

The recall is being issued because the metal jewelry contains high levels of accessible lead in the metal and/or the paint. Lead is toxic if ingested by children and can cause adverse health effects, posing a serious risk of lead poisoning to young children. There have been no incidents or injuries reported with these products.

Consumers should immediately take this metal jewelry away from children. For more information, consumers can visit the Stravina website at www.stravina.com.
