What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves high levels of lead in children's products, which is a high-risk hazard for young children. No injuries or illnesses have been reported, fitting the criteria for a High severity rating (risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported).
Plain-English summary
Team Work Trading, of Los Angeles, Calif., is recalling about 1,400 pieces of children's animal masks and pendants. The recall involves a cat-faced mask and four styles of metal pendants featuring animated symbols, including a dog tag with a fire symbol, a knife and lion symbol, a Mickey Mouse symbol, and a burning sun symbol. The pendants were sold with silver-colored chains.
The recalled items contain high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. The source text also notes that the back and base post of a chair can break while in use, posing a fall hazard, though this appears to be a data entry error in the source description as the product is jewelry/masks. No injuries have been reported.
The products were sold at gift shops, modeling stores nationwide, and the Team Work Trading store from November 2008 through March 2009 for between $4 and $8. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled items and contact Team Work Trading at (213) 680-4489 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday for a refund or exchange.
