Children's Costume Tiaras Recalled Due To High Lead Content: CT DPH
CONNECTICUT — The Consumer Products Safety Commission has recalled a line of children’s costume tiaras due to lead content.
The rhinestone silver tiara with red rhinestones was sold in a set of Yaomiao Children’s Rhinestone Silver Tiaras, available exclusively on Amazon. It was sold in a package with three other tiara styles that are not included in the recall, including blue, purple, and clear rhinestones.
The four tiara styles were sold and shipped together in the same cardboard packaging marked “Yaomiao.” The tiara with the red rhinestones (pictured) was found to have lead in the rhinestones, which poses a danger to children, according to an alert from the Connecticut Department of Public Health issued Monday.
The recalled tiara was sold through Amazon from January 2021 through November 2023 for about $19 for the set of four. Only the tiara with the red rhinestones was found to have lead levels in excess of federal standards.
“Consumers should immediately take the recalled tiaras away from children, stop using them, and contact LordRoadS for a refund. LordRoadS and Amazon are contacting all known purchasers,” DPH said in its advisory.

Connecticut Technical Education and Career System under investigation by U.S. Department of Education
(WFSB) – The Connecticut Technical Education and Career System is under investigation by the United States Department of Education.
In a letter sent to the superintendent obtained by Channel 3, the nature of the investigation centers around the district’s handling of rape and/or sexual assault cases by school staff.
“Due to the District’s inaccurate responses to the rape and/or sexual assault data elements involving allegations against school staff of OCR’s 2023–24 Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), the directed investigation will examine whether the District has policies and procedures in place to ensure accurate data collection and reporting and that its handling of the sexual harassment, including sexual assault, of students by District teachers, administrators, and/or staff members is consistent with the requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) and its implementing regulation,” said the letter in part.
