Allreds Design Recalls Baby Bracelets and Pacifier Clips for Lead Exposure

Allreds Design is recalling baby bracelets and pacifier clips because the metal clasps contain high levels of lead, posing a risk of lead exposure to young children.

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 a risk-of-harm product (lead exposure) where injury has been reported (one child treated for elevated lead levels), but no deaths or serious injuries are explicitly stated, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Allreds Design is recalling approximately 900 baby bracelets and pacifier clips due to the risk of lead exposure. The recalled products feature crystal and plastic beads in various colors with a metal clasp. The bracelets are sold in sizes for ages 0-6 months, 1-4 years, and 4-8 years. The metal clasps on these items contain high levels of lead, which is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

The products were sold at resale stores and other consignment retailers nationwide and on eBay from June 2008 through December 2008 for about $5. Allreds Design received one report of a 10-month-old child who was treated by a physician for elevated lead levels.

Consumers should immediately take these recalled bracelets and pacifier clips away from children. To receive a replacement bracelet or pacifier clip, consumers should contact Allreds Design toll-free at (866) 695-3551 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.hiddenhollowbeads.com.
