Tween Brands Recalls Justice Children's Jewelry Due to High Levels of Cadmium
Tween Brands in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) have agreed to a voluntary recall of 137,000 children's bracelets, necklaces, and earrings due to high levels of cadmium in the jewelry.
There are 19 different pieces of "Justice" jewelry being recalled and they all look somewhat like this:
Pictures of all 19 items are available at the CPSC website.
Cadmium is dangerous because it can inhibit brain development in young children as well as lead to bone softening and kidney failure in cases of long-term exposure. Parents should know that the cadmium won't absorb through the skin but the CPSC wanrs parents to stop using the products because it is dangerous if it is bitten on or sucked as small children often do.
The newest recall of the "Justice" jewelry is the second cadmium-related recall this summer. In May, Walmart, Claire's, and Dollar N More stores recalled their Miley Cyrus jewelry due to the presence of cadmium.
