Plain-English summary

TOBY N.Y.C. is recalling approximately 14,000 units of TOBY & ME Jewelry Sets. These children's metal jewelry sets were sold at T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and A.J. Wright from August 2006 through May 2007 for about $8. The recalled items include a princess pink and clear crystal bead necklace and bracelet set with a painted metallic crown pendant; a pink and white pearl necklace and bracelet set with a painted metallic poodle pendant; and a pink pearl necklace, earrings, and ring set. All sets are sold in a pink gift box with "TOBY & ME" printed on the front and hangtags attached to the packaging.

The recall is being issued because the metal jewelry sets contain high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has not reported any injuries or illnesses associated with the use of these products.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled jewelry away from children. To receive a full refund or replacement item, consumers should contact TOBY N.Y.C. toll-free at (866) 235-0588 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email the firm at [email protected].
