Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

LaRose Industries is recalling approximately 175,000 Cra-Z-Jewelz jewelry making kits because the "Slider Bracelet" included in the kits contains high levels of lead. The recall includes the Shimmer N' Sparkle Cra-Z-Art and My Look Cra-Z-Art Ultimate Gem Machines, along with a Gem Charm and Slider Bracelet refill kit. These products were sold at Kmart, Toys R Us, Walmart, and Target stores between August 2015 and April 2016 for between $10 and $30. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and contact the manufacturer for a full refund.

Risk

The Slider Bracelet in the jewelry making kit contains high levels of lead, which is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues. While no injuries have been reported, lead exposure is a serious safety violation for children's products.
