Ireland
A necklace with a cherry-shaped charm (type/model ZY250B12TB232) sold in Ireland, made in the People’s Republic of China, is affected. It was removed from an online marketplace because it contains excessive cadmium (87% by weight) and releases too much nickel (1.6 μg/cm³/week); cadmium accumulates in the body, can damage kidneys and bones and may cause cancer, and nickel is a strong sensitiser causing allergic reactions; the product does not comply with the REACH Regulation (Safety Gate alert SR/02393/26).
