- By Peter Hadzipetros
Health Canada has recalled 134 skull-and-crossbones necklaces because the skull and metal clasp of the necklace contain high levels of lead.
Health Canada has not received any reports of illness or incidents related to the product.
The Spencer Gifts pendants have 11 rhinestones on the skull's forehead and one rhinestone each on both ends of the crossbones.
Spencer Gifts is offering an exchange or refund.
The company can be reached at 1-800-321-2497 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday to Friday.
