A Cumberland jewelry company has issued a recall of children's spinning wheel-metal necklaces due to a risk of lead exposure.
Rhode Island Novelty and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Rhode Island Novelty announced the recall on Wednesday.
The company said the clasp on the necklaces contain high levels of lead and can be toxic if it’s ingested by young children.
No injuries have been reported.
The 30-inch long link necklaces have a spinning-wheel pendant. The pendant, designed to resemble a car's spinning tire rim, has rhinestones attached to the front, a silver base and measures 2 3/4-inches in diameter.
The item has a clear plastic hang tag with a UPC code of 0-97138-68502-5.
According to the CPSC, the necklace was sold at family entertainment centers, redemption centers, small discount stores nationwide and from rinovelty.com from November 2006 through May 2007. The item cost about $2.
Consumers who bought the necklace should return it to the store where it was purchased or to Rhode Island Novelty for a free replacement item.
