F.A.F., Inc. of Greenville, RI voluntarily recalled about 55,000 Children’s Metal Necklaces on January 29, 2010 because of high levels of cadmium.  The recall by F.A.F. was in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) and the product was sold exclusively at Wal-Mart stores from November 2009 – January 2010.

The necklaces were manufactured in China for F.A.F, and additional information is available at www.faf.com.  The CPSC would like to be made aware of any injuries related to this product, and can be contacted at https://cpsc.gov/cgibin/incident/aspx.
