Bronx, Staten Island Stores Sold Children’s Jewelry Containing Lead
November 21, 2007
Half a million pieces of children’s jewelry are being pulled from the shelves because they contain lead.
The bracelets, necklace, pins and earrings were sold at two stores in the city ? Michaels Craft Supply on Staten Island and the Grand 99 Cent Store in the Bronx.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission was alerted about the toxic toys by State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s office. Cuomo says some of the 35 products his office investigated had as much as 1,000 times the amount of lead allowed.
Most of the jewelry was made in China and was sold in stores across the nation.
