MEXX RECALL

May 8th, 2008
Mexx Canada yesterday recalled children's jewelry and purses because of illegal and dangerous levels of lead.

The move follows another recall in February by the fashion clothing and accessories company for children's shoes and sunglasses.

All the products were manufactured by Liz Claiborne, the New York company that purchased Mexx Canada in 2002. The company uncovered the problem after conducting tests.

The recall items include chain, wax cord and wooden beaded necklaces for girls and boys, as well as jean and corduroy purses for girls. Some of the items have been in Mexx outlets throughout Canada since January 2007.
