Children's Pendants and Cosmetics Recalled Due to Lead

About 57,000 Fairy Dust Candle Charms and Pendants (see previous slide for additional photo) imported from Hong Kong by Benjamin International, of Middlebury, Conn. have been recalled due to high lead content, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Lead, if ingested by children -- particularly those under the age of six -- can lead to permanent brain damage.

The recalled pewter pendants were sold in a collection of 12 pendants. The pendants were sold separately and on candles of various colors and scents.

They were sold at gift shops nationwide from February 2004 through February 2008 for between $6 and $8 for the pendants and between $12 and $15 for the charms with candles.
