Important Safety Notice for Parents: Recall of Yaomiao Children’s Jewelry Sets

Dear Parents,

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a recall of three Yaomiao-branded children’s jewelry sets due to safety concerns. These jewelry sets, sold exclusively online on Amazon from January 2022 through March 2024, contain harmful levels of lead and cadmium. The recalled jewelry sets, which feature unicorns, butterflies, hearts, turtles, stars, and rainbows, were sold in lavender boxes with the message “A Special Gift for the Charming You” printed on them.

Key Information:

• The jewelry sets were sold for $8 to $21 and contain lead levels that exceed federal safety standards, as well as cadmium levels that are prohibited in children’s products.
• Affected jewelry sets were packaged in small plastic bags inside a lavender box, with “Yaomiao” appearing on the box’s plastic wrap.
• These products were sold exclusively on Amazon.com.

What to Do:

• Immediately stop using the recalled jewelry and remove it from children.
• Contact LordRoads for a full refund. You will be asked to dispose of the jewelry and send a photo of the disposed items to simlordroadple@163.com.
• Amazon and LordRoads are directly contacting known purchasers.

Health Considerations:

• The jewelry contains dangerous levels of lead and cadmium, which can pose serious health risks, especially to children. We recommend considering a lead exposure test for your child if they have used this product.

For more details, please visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website or check out Lead (pa.gov) for more information on childhood lead exposure. If you have any questions, you can contact the Pennsylvania Department of Health at 1-877-PA-HEALTH.

We urge you to take immediate action and ensure your child’s safety.

Thank you – LVA’s Nurse’s Office
