HARTFORD, CT - March 8, 2010 - The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection is alerting consumers to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s voluntary recall of Allreds Design Baby Bracelets and Pacifier Clips due to lead hazard. Consumers should cease using the above noted recalled products immediately.
These products were manufactured in the United States by Allreds Design (doing business as Hidden Hollow Beads), of Fort Duchesne, Utah. This recall includes Allreds Design brand baby bracelets and pacifier clips. The bracelets are sold in sizes 0-6 months, 1-4 years, and 4-8 years of age. The baby bracelets and pacifier clips have crystal and plastic beads in various colors with a metal clasp. The recalled bracelets and pacifier clip clasps contain high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause serious health effects. There has been one (1) report of a 10-month-old child who was treated by a physician for elevated lead levels.
The bracelets and pacifier clips were sold nationwide at consignment retailers and resale stores from June 2008 through December 2008 for approximately $5.00.
Consumer Protection Commissioner Jerry Farrell Jr., strongly recommends that consumers check their homes for this product and if found, immediately take these recalled bracelets and pacifier clips away from children and contact Allreds Design for instructions on how to receive a replacement bracelet or pacifier clip.
