Nearly 10,000 units of children's jewelry sold on Amazon.ca recalled over excessive lead
Health Canada is recalling children's jewelry sold on Amazon.ca after the agency's testing showed excessive levels of lead.
The recall concerns the SUZUTOY charm bracelet-making kit for girls, an arts and craft kit containing beads and pendants, adjustable bracelets, hair clips, a keychain and necklaces, the agency said in an online notice.
'Hello Princess' and 'You Are My Little Princess Beautiful' is written on the pink gift box, Health Canada added.

The affected jewelry should 'immediately' be taken from children and disposed of in compliance with municipal hazardous waste guidelines, Health Canada said.
No injuries or incidents related to the affected products were reported in Canada as of Monday, the agency added. Amazon.ca reported 9,800 units of the affected products were sold in the country between August 2023 and April 2025.
Health Canada said the products have been removed from Amazon.ca 's online storefront, and the agency has contacted the third-party seller.
Buying consumer products online can have risks, the agency added, pointing to its safety guidelines for shopping online.
Under national regulations, it's illegal to import, advertise or sell jewelry that contains more than 90 mg/kg total lead when the items appeal mainly to children under 15.
'Lead and cadmium are highly toxic, especially to children,' Health Canada added, noting serious health effects include brain injury, coma, damage to the liver, kidneys, heart, immune system and in extreme cases, death.
