The sad thing is that products (both childrens and adults) will continue to be overlooked and we will probably hear of something else in a couple of months. I guess the best thing (and only) thing to do is continue to look for these problems ourselves.rnrnGreat Post.

Is there a way for us parents to test our children’s jewelery? I purchased a few pieces of children’s jewelry, made in China, at Christmas time (At Wal-Mart) and refuse to let my children wear it until I can be certain it isn’t toxic.

That is terrific news. It is scary for our children to have jewelries like that. Can I know how to determine if the jewelry has toxic?

Plastic jewelry can pose a problem, but the more significant issue right now is inexpensive metal jewelry that can be contaminated with lead and now cadmium. Plastic jewelry may be a problem if it is polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is usually the soft, flexible plastic, sometimes used as “string.” PVC can be stabilzed with lead or cadmium, and may also contain phthalates.

What about the plastic jewelry? Do we not have to be careful with them as well? They are all made in China. The rings, necklaces, play dress up shoes and accessories, such as: earrings and clips. Should they be tossed as well?
