Overview
- The Office for Product Safety and Standards said testing found cadmium above the legal limit in the Dishowme butterfly rings.
- Trading standards specified the corrective action as removal of the product listing, and Amazon has taken the rings off its site.
- The rings were marketed to women and girls and described as two silver-coloured butterfly bands sold in a clear plastic bag.
- UK Health Security Agency materials note cadmium is classified by IARC as carcinogenic and can damage organs depending on exposure.
- Amazon said it requires compliance with laws and its policies and confirmed the product was removed, stating this is not a formal recall.
