Risk of Lead Exposure Causes Children’s Cosmetics Accessory Bag Recall
Accessory bags for children’s cosmetics have been recalled due to the presence of high levels of lead in the bag’s handle clasps. These clasps pose a poisoning risk if swallowed. It is reported that just under one million units (about 945,000) are part of this recall. The bags were sold under the Bonne Bell name at retail stores nationwide and at Bonne Bell’s website from September 2007 through August 2008 for about $9.
Consumers can recognize the products by the name Bonne Bell Children’s Cosmetics Accessory Bags, as well as through the description below.
