Plain-English summary

Mission City Press is recalling approximately 11,000 units of 'A Life of Faith' Charm Bracelet Sets. These sets include a bracelet for a girl and a smaller matching bracelet for a doll. The products feature silver-colored chains and charms, including a Bible, angel, cross, heart, and praying hands, along with clear, crystal, and pearl white beads.

The recall was issued because the surface paint on the pearl white beads contains excessive levels of lead, which violates the federal lead paint standard. The bracelets were sold in specialty toy, book, and gift stores nationwide from October 2006 through November 2007 for about $15. The products were manufactured in China.

No injuries have been reported in connection with these products. Consumers should immediately take the bracelet sets away from children. Those who purchased the sets should return them to Mission City Press for a refund. If the bracelets were received for free, consumers should dispose of them or remove the pearl white beads. For refunds, customers must include their name, mailing address, phone number, and email address when returning the items to the address provided by the manufacturer.
