The product, in the report: “THE AWAJÚN NAYA BEADED NECKLACE is a gorgeous boho chic eco necklace that energizes the heart chakra. This organic beaded necklace is a traditional design made by the Awajún artisans of Urakusa in the Peruvian Amazon. It is handmade with kumpia, wayampai, tuju seeds and accent color at the edge in red huayruro* or black chichao seeds. The name Naya was made up as a diminutive for the word “Nayainpinmak”, which means “Heaven” in the Awajún language. The huayruro* seed is a good luck seed. The red and black colors symbolize good fortune and abundance, as well as balance. The seeds are said to protect from negativity and bring happiness. Newborns and newlyweds often receive huayruro seeds as gifts for a happy and prosperous life. Kumpia, Wayampai, Huayruro, Chichao Seeds • Fishing thread for strength • Back closure with beaded loop in seeds • Handmade by Awajún Artisans • Imported: Peruvian Amazon • Organic • Vegan • Metal Free • Eco jewelry • Earth friendly fashion” WEBSITE: http://www.orgbyvio.com/shop/#!/~/product/category=2398135&id=18019823

I see jewelry being advertised online that has poisonous seeds from the Amazon incorporated all over it. There is no warning for children or adults. Here is the web page:
http://www.orgbyvio.com/shop/#!/~/product/category=2398135&id=18019823
The red-and-black-colored poisonous seeds all over this jewelry are called “huayruro” seeds. They are indigenous to the Amazon areas of Peru. They are very poisonous. The advertisement encourages people to give these particular beads to BABIES. Here is the ad copy:
“The huayruro* seed is a good luck seed. The red and black colors symbolize good fortune and abundance, as well as balance. The seeds are said to protect from negativity and bring happiness. Newborns and newlyweds often receive huayruro seeds as gifts for a happy and prosperous life.”
They are poisonous. Nowhere on the page does it mention that they are poisonous.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(1/14/2014) ORG by VIO: COMMENT ON REPORT: I have received the report noted above on 01.13.14 and have fully read it. We received and email from [REDACTED] on 12.20.13 stating her concern and inquiring about the huayruro seeds in the jewelry we sell through ORG by vio. ORG by vio office was closed for the holidays, so I personally answered her on the same day. I let her know that the huayruro seeds that are poisonous are of the smaller variety, not the larger ones used in the jewelry made by the artisans ORG by vio works with. Since her message, we have been in contact with our team in Perú to get scientific information about the small and large huayruro toxicity levels. We are still in that process. However, we have made a point to ensure people know that huayruro seeds are poisonous if ingested. Considering the fact that customers may not know the difference and toxicity level of either size, we are making a general rule for all the huayruro jewelry on our website. We have also updated the information to note that it should be kept away from children. And we have clarified that the custom of giving huayruro seeds to newlyweds and newborns is a Peruvian Amazon tradition and not intended for children otherwise. Following is the update on every product page where huayruro seeds are used:
The huayruro* seed is a good luck seed. The red and black colors symbolize good fortune and abundance, as well as balance. The seeds are said to protect from negativity and bring happiness. In the Peruvian Amazon, newlyweds and newborns often receive huayruro seeds as gifts for a happy and prosperous life.
NOTE: Huayruro seeds (the red and black seeds in some of the jewelry) are known to be poisonous if ingested. We recommend that any jewelry with huayruro seeds be kept away from children. More on FAQ’s section.
We have also included information on or Customer Service FAQ’s section: http://www.orgbyvio.com/customer-service-faq
Are any of the materials used toxic? Although the materials used are all natural, they are not intended for oral consumption. Most of the materials are not toxic. However, huayruro seeds (the red and black seeds in some of the jewelry) are known to be poisonous if ingested. We recommend that any jewelry with huayruro seeds be kept away from children. And in Care Instructions: http://www.orgbyvio.com/care-instructions NOTE: Although materials are all natural, they are not intended for oral consumption. Most of the materials are not toxic. However, huayruro seeds (the red and black seeds in some of the jewelry) are known to be poisonous if ingested. We recommend that any jewelry with huayruro seeds be kept away from children. See more on FAQ’s section. We are dedicated to bringing customers beautiful jewelry handmade by Amazon artisans as a way to support their communities’ sustainable development. We aim to adorn and take the utmost care to ensure that our jewelry is enjoyed. We are grateful that [REDACTED] brought this issue to our attention, so that we could make sure that our customers know more about huayruro seeds regardless or size difference and toxicity levels, to be safe.
