Archived – Expanded Recall: Children's Charm Craft Kits

Product description

This recall involves "Super Dooper Charms" (item #63403) and "Shoelace Charms" (item #67310) children's charm craft kits. The item number can be found on the back of the package.

The craft kits contain components (i.e., charms, beads, wire, clasps) to assemble necklaces, jewellery accessories or charms that can be hooked on shoelaces, backpacks or used as zipper pulls.
