Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 52,400 M&M'S-branded jewelry items, including earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces, are being recalled because they can contain high levels of lead. The recalled jewelry was sold at M&M'S World stores in Nevada, Florida, and New York between May 2015 and July 2016. These items are easily identified by the M&M'S "M" logo used as a charm or feature. Consumers should immediately stop using the jewelry and keep it away from children to prevent potential lead exposure.

Risk

The jewelry contains high levels of lead, which is toxic if ingested by young children and can lead to adverse health issues. While no injuries have been reported, lead poisoning can cause serious developmental and neurological damage.
