Hazard

Remedy
Consumers should not allow children to handle the key chain and return it to any Wal-Mart store for a full refund.
Incidents & injuries
The Illinois Attorney General informed Wal-Mart and CPSC on April 16, 2008, that the key chain was found in the home of a 9-month-old child who was discovered to have high blood-levels of lead. The child was observed mouthing this key chain.
