Children’s Toy Jewelry Sets Recalled by Playmates Toys; Charms Violate the Total Lead Standard





Tiny Tink and Friends Children’s Toy Jewelry Sets by Playmates Toys have been recalled because a cylindrical metal connector on a charm can contain levels of total lead in excess of 300 ppm, which is prohibited under federal law. This recall involves charms sold with the Tiny Tink and Friends toy jewelry sets. The charm is attached to a cord using a metal ring and cylinder and included with the sets as a separate accessory that children can attach to the toy necklace, bracelet or key chain. The toy jewelry sets containing the charm accessory were sold in a variety of styles:

Item # UPC # Description

74634 0 43377 74634 8 Tinker Bell's Lil’ Tinker Bracelet
74641 0 43377 74641 6 Tinker Bell's Lil’ Tinker Bracelet
74631 0 43377 74631 7 Rosetta's Rosebud Key Chain
74632 0 43377 74632 4 Silvermist's Water Lily Necklace

Charms that have plastic tabs instead of metal rings and cylinders are not included in this recall. Consumers should immediately remove the charm and cord away from children and contact Playmates Toys for a replacement charm accessory. For additional information, contact Playmates toys at (888) 810-1133 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or visit the firm’s website at www.playmatestoys.com.
