Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Things Remembered is recalling approximately 6,700 silver heart bracelets and 3,300 sweet charm necklaces for children because the clear surface coating contains lead in excess of federal standards. No injuries have been reported, but lead is toxic if ingested and can cause adverse health issues. These items were sold at Things Remembered stores nationwide and online from February 2015 through June 2016 for about $25. Consumers can return the items for a full refund or a replacement gift.

Risk

The clear coating on the jewelry contains lead levels that exceed the allowable limit, posing a risk of lead poisoning if a child ingests or sucks on the jewelry.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately take the silver heart bracelets and sweet charm necklaces away from children and stop using them.
  2. Identify the affected silver-plated bracelet: it is 6 inches long with 10 silver hearts, circle links, a lobster claw clasp, and one silver heart-shaped charm.
  3. Identify the affected 'Sweet' charm necklace: it features a 13-inch gold-plated box chain with a 2-inch extender, a lobster claw closure, and three specific charms—a pink ice cream cone, a pink crystal cupcake, and a gold-plated tag engraved with the word 'SWEET'.
  4. Contact Things Remembered toll-free at 866-902-4438 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or by email at customerservice@thingsremembered.com to receive a full refund (including shipping charges) or a replacement gift of equal value.
