Reebok International Ltd. agreed to pay a record $1 million fine after having to recall 300,000 charm bracelets that contained toxic amounts of lead. The bracelets were free gifts that were included with the purchase of children's shoes. A 4 year old boy from Minneapolis died in March 2006 after swallowing one of the bracelet's charms.
adidas shares rose as rumors that Nike would bid for the company circulated.
