Getting the Lead Out
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Some Dora the Explorer products have been part of recent toy recalls.
Exposure to lead used to come from two sources: Paint and gasoline. But in the 1970’s the government banned the use of lead in those materials.
So why do we keep hearing about lead levels in children’s products including everything from toys to jewelry to baby bibs?
It can make holiday shopping a nightmare.
What are your plans for buying safe items this holiday season?
Are there local stores that give a “lead-free” guarantee?
