Federal consumer safety regulators on Friday announced the recall of

" The Princess and The Frog " pendants sold at Walmart stores because of

of an emerging threat in children's jewelry.

The recall affects two products, about 55,000 items in total, sold

testing for cadmium in children's metal jewelry for several weeks in

response to an Associated Press investigation.
