Plain-English summary

H.I.S. International Group LLC is recalling Self-Esteem brand girl's clothing sets that include a gold leaf pendant necklace. The metal pendant on the necklace contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead content ban. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues.

The recalled clothing sets consist of a short-sleeve teal top with cut-out shoulders, a navy blue legging pant with a teal floral print, and a pendant necklace with an orange and teal center. The sets have style number PO#71160/LOT9 and a production date of 10/2017 printed on a white label inside the garment. They were sold in girl's sizes 4x-12x.

About 4,400 units were sold at Burlington and Shopko stores nationwide from February 2018 through October 2018 for about $14. No injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately stop using the necklace, take it away from children, and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
