Why you shouldn’t buy cheap children’s jewelry
But, following an Associated Press investigation , consumer advocates are warning that cadmium – which in some cases has been used as a replacement for lead – is the newest threat hidden in gumball machine dispensers and dollar stores. Since the report, several chains, including Walmart, have pulled children’s jewelry made in China because of high cadmium levels, and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., has called for a ban on the use of cadmium in children’s jewelry. However, it took the CPSC nearly five months to act on the AP tests, which identified the Claire’s children’s jewelry as a concern, since they are made with as much as 90% cadmium.
