Juicy Couture Children’s Jewelry Recalled for Lead Poisoning Hazard
Posted by Donna Dolezal Zelzer on May 11th, 2006
Here’s another product recall from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
About 2,800 pieces of Juicy Couture Children’s Jewelry have been recalled because they contain high lead levels. There have been no reports of injuries, but lead is toxic and can cause health problems if ingested by young children. (It amazes me how companies keep making stuff with too much lead in them. The toxicity of this substance is a known fact, what in the blankety-blank are they thinking?)
According to CPSC, the recalled bracelets and necklaces are gold or silver with charms. The charms include a yellow painted metal shirt with “Viva La Juicy” printed on the front, a cheerleader’s megaphone with the word “Juicy,” a green heart with “Juicy Couture,” a black dog, the letter “J,” and a purple flower.
The jewelry was sold in a pink box with “Juicy Couture” and “Made with Love G&P” printed on the top. The recall includes style numbers YJRU0722, YJRU0723, YJR0724 and YJRU0538. The style number is printed on a white sticker on the bottom of the pink box.
If your child has this jewelry, take it away from her and return it to the store where you bought it for a full refund. For more information, contact Liz Claiborne toll-free at (866) 879-7877 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, seven days a week, or visit their Web site at www.juicycouture.com/recall
