Disney’s Tiny Tink and Friends Jewelry Recalled
It’s another recall for Disney children’s jewelry as the Playmates Toys has said that the metal charm connector of certain jewelry sets contains lead.
The company, whose jewelry is made in China, issued a voluntary recall of 180,000 sets of Tiny Tink and Friends Children’s Toy Jewelry Sets. This recall includes Tinker Bell’s Lil’ Tinker Bracelet, Rosetta’s Rosebud Key Chain, and Silvermist’s Water Lily Necklace. A metal connector that links the charm to a necklace, bracelet or keychain is the part that contains lead. The company said that once it became aware of the excessive levels of lead in the connectors, it contacted the Consumer Product Safety Commission to stop sales of the items.
The jewelry sets were sold nationwide from November 2008 until November 2009 for between $6 and $8. Similar sets with plastic rather than metal charm connectors are not included in the recall.
Consumers who purchased these recalled sets should contact Playmates Toys at (888) 810-1133 between 12 pm and 8 pm EST Monday through Friday or see the company’s web site to fill out a replacement form.
