About 57,000 Fairy Dust pendants and candle charms are being recalled. They contain high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

The recalled pewter pendants were sold in a collection of 12 pendants. The pendants were sold separately and on candles of various colors and scents.

The items, made in Hong Kong, were sold at gift shops nationwide from February 2004 through February 2008 for between $6 and $8 for the pendants and between $12 and $15 for the charms with candles.

Consumers should immediately stop using these pendants/charms and contact Benjamin International to receive a free replacement pendant/charm.

For additional information, contact Benjamin International toll-free at (888) 249-7639 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, or visit the firm’s Web site at http://www.benjamininternational.com/.
