Understand the issue

The clasps on the necklaces contain high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

The recalled necklaces are silver-colored with multi-colored pendants shaped as butterflies. The pendant hangs from a silver-colored chain. The necklaces' packaging is pink and purple cardboard with "Butterfly Necklace" printed on the front and "Item #JA442" on the back.
