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.
