Children's Bowtie Hairclips Recalled for Excessive Lead Content

BE Jewel Accessories is recalling about 1,200 children's bowtie hairclips sold nationwide because the crystals exceed federal lead content limits. Lead poses a toxicity risk if ingested by 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 lead content violation on a product designed for children, which is inherently a high-risk hazard category. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, lead toxicity in children's products is a serious potential harm that warrants a High severity rating.

Plain-English summary

BE Jewel Accessories is recalling children's bowtie hairclips due to lead content in the crystals that exceeds federal safety limits. The hairclips feature small and large white and colored crystals on the front and a black clip on the back, and were sold in packs of two attached to a white card labeled "Accessory" and "Made in China."

About 1,200 units were distributed nationwide through dollar stores and other discount retailers from May 2019 through July 2022, priced between $1 and $3.

Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues. No injuries have been reported to date.

Consumers should immediately remove the hairclips from children and contact BE Jewel Accessories at 212-273-0887 (9 a.m.–5:30 p.m. ET, Monday–Friday) or [email protected] for disposal instructions and a full refund.
