About 6 million children's metal necklaces and zipper pulls from Stravina Operating Co. are being recalled because of a lead poisoning risk, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Wednesday.

There have been no incidents or injuries reported with the products, but the jewelry contains high levels of accessible lead, the commission said.

Lead is toxic if ingested by children and can cause ill health effects.

The recalled necklaces are silver-colored with nameplates that hang from a 16-inch black cord. The packages are marked "Personalized Necklace" and "Stravina" with a UPC Code of 0-35203-00039-7.

The recalled zipper pulls are silver-colored with individual names that come in various colors. The products' packaging contains the words "Personalized Zipper Pull," "Great for Backpacks and Keyrings, too!" and "Stravina," with UPC Code 0-35203-00038-0.

The products were sold from March 2002 to September 2005 at discount, toy, party, grocery and drugs stores for between $2 and $4.

Consumers should take the jewelry away from children, and contact Stravina for a free replacement product at 1-800-964-0029.
