ALERT Reebok giveaway charm bracelets "loaded with lead"
Excerpt from article: The Associated Press Thursday, March 23, 2006; 11:34 AM WASHINGTON -- Reebok is recalling 300,000 children's charm bracelets because a 4-year-old died from lead poisoning after swallowing a piece of the jewelry, the government said Thursday. The silver-colored bracelets, bearing heart-shaped charms engraved with the "Reebok" name, were given away from May 2004 through this month with the purchase of children's shoes in major shoe stores across the country. The bracelets contain high levels of lead, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
