Health Canada recalled certain children’s jewelry nationwide after finding dangerous lead levels. The recall was announced on May 17, 2025 and will protect children from serious health risks.

Why this move?

The recalled jewelry contains potential customers that exceed legal security restrictions, which is not safe. Lead is toxic, especially for children. It can damage brain development and cause other long-term health problems.

What should parents do?

Urge parents and guardians to stop using recalled jewelry immediately. Keep items away from children. Check product details to see if your items are included in the recall. If so, follow Health Canada’s instructions to return items and receive a refund or replacement.

Consumers who believe they have a recalled product or are aware of any health issues should report to Canadian health. The official recall notice provides more details, including images and product descriptions.
