Plain-English summary

QuinCrafts, of Dexter, Michigan, is recalling approximately 70,000 units of Makit & Bakit Jewelry Sets and Suncatcher Sets. The recall includes specific children's jewelry items such as the 5-Piece Jewelry Set, Charm Bracelet Sets, Bracelet & Necklace Set, Garden Delux Suncatcher Set, and Disney-themed charm bracelets. The affected products were sold in a variety of sets containing necklace, bracelet, and earring or ring combinations.

The products were manufactured in China and sold at retailers including AC Moore, CVS, LTD Commodities, Marshall's/TJ Maxx, and Michaels Corp. nationwide from August 2007 through March 2008 for about $2.
