Plain-English summary

A&A Global Industries is recalling approximately 4 million units of its children's "Groovy Grabber" bracelets. The recalled items are made of flexible metal bands wrapped in decorative plastic covers and feature various designs, including smiley faces, Chinese symbols, dogs, cats, aliens, checker boards, and flames. The bracelets were sold for 25 cents in vending machines located in malls, discount, department, and grocery stores nationwide from November 2005 through March 2007.

The recall is due to a lead poisoning hazard. The paint on the metallic band beneath the decorative cover contains high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. The company reports that no injuries have been associated with the recalled product.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled bracelets away from children and discard them. For additional information, consumers can contact A&A Global Industries at (800) 638-6000 ext. 314 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.aaglobalind.com.
