Daiso Recalls Children's Coin Purses and Jewelry for Lead Exposure Risk

Daiso is recalling children's coin purses and jewelry because surface paint contains high levels of lead. Consumers should remove items from children and contact Daiso for a refund.

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 not yet been reported, which aligns with the High severity criteria in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Daiso California LLC is recalling children's coin purses with rainbow stripes and children's earrings and necklaces with colored droplets. The recall involves approximately 190 units sold at Daiso stores in California and Washington from May 2009 through December 2009 for about $1.50. The products were manufactured in China and South Korea.

The surface paint on the zippers of the coin purses and the clasps on the jewelry contains high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. No injuries have been reported in connection with these products.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled products away from children. To obtain a full refund, consumers should contact Daiso toll-free at (888) 580-8841 between 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.daisorecall.com.
