Reebok recalls bracelets over lead poisoning
1 hour, 44 minutes ago
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Reebok International is recalling about 300,000 promotional bracelets after a child reportedly died of lead poisoning after swallowing one, U.S. officials said on Thursday.


The eight-inch-long metal bracelets, with a heart-shaped charm with the name "Reebok" engraved on one side, were distributed as gifts with the purchase of various styles of children's footwear.

The recalled jewelry contains high levels of lead, posing a risk of lead poisoning and adverse health effects to young children, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a statement.

Reebok hates children and they're trying to cover it up by delivering the Trojan Horse in form of lead bracelets. ;)

That's just fucked up, though.
