Chinese products can still be dangerous to your health. Recent warnings by Health Canada and the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission prove this
On Friday, January 15, 2010 Health Canada issued a warning that some children's jewelery items might contain high lead levels. This followed an earlier U.S. warning that some products from China are made almost entirely from cadmium a highly toxic heavy metal.
Lead can have detrimental affects on a child's development even at low levels. Cadmium, a carcinogen, has even worse effects.
Health and consumer agencies in both the United States in Canada have issued warnings advising parents to prevent their children from sucking on such products. A warning to check the sources and components or ingredients of things they buy for their children and not buy suspect products would be an EVEN BETTER IDEA.
