Although neither Health Canada nor Grand Fortune Import has received any reports of incidents relating to the jewellery, customers are advised to immediately remove from children and dispose of items in their regular household waste.

From 2005 to September 2012, approximately 13,176 items were sold at various stores across western Canada.
