An international chain store says it will no longer sell a charm bracelet that lab testing reported by The Associated Press showed was laden with toxic cadmium. In a statement, Claire's says it has no reason to believe that the product is unsafe, but is removing it "out of an abundance of caution." Charms on the "Best Friends" bracelet contained 89 and 91 percent cadmium, according to testing organized by AP, and shed alarming amounts in a procedure that looks at how much cadmium children might be exposed to. Claire's has nearly 3,000 stores in North America and Europe.
