The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a recall for approximately 6,900 Yaomiao-branded children’s jewelry sets due to hazardous levels of lead and cadmium.
These metals, which exceed federal safety limits, pose a serious health risk to young children if ingested.
The jewelry sets, which contain between three and twelve pieces, feature designs including unicorns, butterflies, hearts, turtles, stars, and rainbows.
The sets are silver-colored with multicolored gems, and each is packaged in a lavender box with the phrase “A Special Gift for the Charming You” printed on it.
The product packaging also bears the brand name “Yaomiao.”
Lead and cadmium are toxic substances known to cause severe health issues, including developmental problems and organ damage, when children ingest them.
These materials are prohibited in children’s products under federal law, and their presence in the jewelry sets prompted the recall.
No injuries have been reported, but the CPSC urges consumers to immediately remove the jewelry and contact the retailer, LordRoads, for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to dispose of the recalled jewelry and provide a photo of the disposed items to receive their refund.
LordRoads, the retailer, along with Amazon, will be reaching out to all known purchasers to ensure the recall is communicated directly.
The jewelry sets were sold exclusively on Amazon.com between January 2022 and March 2024 for prices ranging from $8 to $21, depending on the set.
For more information, consumers can contact LordRoads at [email protected].
If you own one of these jewelry sets, it is crucial to stop using them immediately to protect young children from potential exposure to these toxic substances.
