Plain-English summary

D&D Distributing-Wholesale Inc. is recalling approximately 19,000 Love Tester mood rings and 4,000 necklaces. The products are children's costume jewelry that changes color based on the user's mood. The recall was initiated because the metal components contain high levels of lead, which is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

The products were sold at small retail stores nationwide from September 2005 through June 2010 for approximately $4 each. The items were manufactured in China. The packaging is labeled "Love Tester" and "Are You In the Mood." No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with these products.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled jewelry away from children. They should return the products to the store where purchased to receive a full refund or a replacement product. For additional information, consumers can contact D&D Distributing-Wholesale at (800) 262-9435 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or visit www.dddist.com.
