Lead Volume In The United States

  

U.S.A

Retailer

Target and Walmart have sold their children's products, including toy boxing gloves and foam beads beads, after testing that the lead content exceeds the statutory standard.


Center for Environmental Health (CEH), headquartered in California, USA, sells 5 items in retailer Target and Walmart.

Children's products

The detection showed that the lead content was higher than the federal legal standard.

In order to protect children from the dangers of excessive lead content, more than 2 years ago, the federal law of the United States had established strict restrictions.


CEH said that the lead content of children's seats sold by Target exceeded 70 times the statutory standard.

Another Walmart

Store sales

The lead content of children's seat, boxing gloves and toy bead bead jewelry is 3 times ~45 times that of the statutory standard.


The products were purchased in September 11th and September 18th from the Target and Walmart discount stores located in Bay Area, and the children's products purchased from the two retailers' websites.


CEH also detected excessive lead content in 3 adult jewelry products purchased from Walmart in September, violating the restrictions on the lead content of jewelry in California California Lead-Containing-Jewelry law.


In September this year, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission sought public advice on the technical feasibility of reducing the lead content of children's products from 300 ppm (parts per million, millionth concentration) to 100 ppm.


Some industry representatives believe that the limit of lead content to 100 ppm will force them to stop production of certain children's products.
