Reported risk: Health Canada is advising the Canadian public that a children's metal charm bracelet which was provided as a free gift with children's Reebok shoes, has been recalled due to high lead levels. These bracelets should be removed immediately from children's reach and disposed of in normal household waste in a manner which is no longer accessible to children. The heart-shaped charm on the bracelet may contain a very high level of lead and pose a risk of lead poisoning to children if sucked, chewed or swallowed. One of the charms has been linked to the death from lead poisoning of a four-year-old Minnesota boy, on February 22, 2006 who had ingested one of the charms.
