BENSALEM, Pa., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Catherines Plus Sizes' top priority is our customers and the quality of our merchandise.

Catherines today issued the following statement regarding levels of cadmium found in an adult bracelet.  Catherines does not market or sell children's items.  The Consumer Product Safety Commission has warned against the use of cadmium in children's products.
