Lead content prompts more toy recalls

WASHINGTON -- A Cumberland company recalls children's necklaces made in China because they contain dangerous levels of lead.

The 850 Spinning Wheel Necklace necklaces were produced by Rhode Island Novelty. They were sold nationwide from November 2006 through May 2007.

Under current regulations, children's products should not have more than .06 percent lead.

The government warns parents to make sure children are not playing or using any of the recalled products.

For more information, call the company 800-528-5599 or visit its Web site at www.rinovelty.com.
