As a parent, one is always looking for ways to protect, and keep their children safe. The California Attorney General's office issued a safety warning about seven toys and other products tested by the Center for Environmental Health this month.
According to the center's report Disney Fairies Silvermist's Water Lily Necklace sold by Walgreens contains 22,000 parts per million of lead, more than the limit of 300 per million allowed under federal law.
The Barbie Bike Flair Accessory Kit sold by Tuesday Morning contains 6,196 parts per million of lead.
Other products that the center says have abnormal amounts of lead are the Kids Poncho and MSY Faded Glory Rebecca Shoes, both sold by Wal-Mart; Reversible Croco Belt sold by Target; Dora the Explorer Activity Tote sold by TJ Maxx; and Paula Fuschia Open-Toed Shoes sold by Sears.
The attorney general's office sent a letter last week to the affected retailers warning them that the products contain illegal levels of lead and asking that they pull them from shelves immediately.
