The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of the “Best Friends” Charm Bracelet Sets because the heart lock charms attached to the bracelets contain high levels of cadmium.  Without any scientific proof, the CPSC claims that cadmium is toxic if ingested by children and can cause adverse health effects.  The bracelets were imported by Claire’s Boutiques Inc., of Hoffman Estates, Ill. Description:  The “Best Friends” three bracelet sets are silver-colored chains with metal pendants containing one of the words “Best,” “Friends” or “Forever” and heart lock and key charms with different colored stones.  Incidents/Injuries: None reported.
