“Toxic Toys”

November 18, 2009

Just in time for the Holiday shopping season, both The American Association for Justice and the Associated Press have announced that high levels of lead have been discovered in various children’s toys and clothing.

High levels of lead were found in: Barbie Flair Accessory Kit, Disney Tinkerbell Water Lily necklace, Dora the Explorer Activity Tote, 2 pairs of children’s shoes, a boys belt and a poncho.

The California Attorney general has contacted Target, Walmart and other retailers urging them to pull the tainted toys and clothing articles immediately.

Children who are exposed to high level of lead can suffer from irreversible brain damage.
