Recalls: Necklace sets
Friday, November 14, 2008

Claire's Boutiques Inc. is recalling about 67,000 Best Friends yin yang necklaces sets.

The recalled necklaces contain high levels of lead.

Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

This recall involves a set of two necklaces that have a silver-colored metal bead type chain and a lobster-claw clasp.

One of the necklaces has a single, metal pendant with the word "Best" attached to a black, yin metal pendant.

The other necklace has the word "Friends" attached to a white, yang metal pendant.

Claire's stores sold the item from April 2007 through August 2008 for about $8.

Consumers should return the necklace sets to any Claire's store for a refund.

For additional information, call Claire's at 1-866-859-9281 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or visit the firm's Web site at www.claires.com.
