Product description
This recall involves necklaces from the children's collection measuring 12 inches (30 cm) to 13 inches (33 cm), strung on metal wire and having a rectangular metal tag (brand label) near the closure indicating the brand name "Accessoires Rose Nanane" on the front and "fabriqué à / Made in Montréal, Canada" on the back.

It is important to note that no other products, such as those strung on elastic, are part of the recall.
Hazard identified
Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has revealed that the brand label on the recalled jewellery items contains lead in excess of the allowable limit. It also contains cadmium at levels in excess of Health Canada's recommended limits.
Under the Children's Jewellery Regulations of the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, it is illegal to import, advertise or sell jewellery items that appeal primarily to children under 15 years of age and contain more than 600 mg/kg total lead.
Lead and cadmium are known to be very toxic metals, especially for children. A range of serious health effects have been associated with exposure to lead and cadmium, including anemia, vomiting, diarrhea, serious brain injury, convulsions, coma, as well as effects related to the liver, kidneys, heart and immune system. In extreme cases, there have been deaths.
Neither Health Canada nor Accessoires Rose Nanane has received any reports of incidents or illnesses related to the use of these products.
For more information on the risks and symptoms of lead and cadmium exposure, visit the Government of Canada's website Lead and Cadmium in Children's Jewellery.
