Plain-English summary

The recall is due to the clasp on the necklaces containing high levels of lead, which is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. The recalled items are 30-inch-long link necklaces with a spinning wheel pendant designed to resemble a car's spinning tire rim, featuring rhinestones and a silver base.
The necklaces were sold at family entertainment centers, redemption centers, and small discount stores nationwide, as well as at www.rinovelty.com, from November 2006 through May 2007 for about $2. The product was manufactured in China. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.
