CA Jewelry Vendors Say "No" to Lead

Filed in archive Jewelry News by tammy on February 2, 2006

I've reported before about the dangers of lead found in children's jewelry. While there are many dangers when it comes to children wearing jewelry, such as a necklace becoming a choking hazard, the idea that lead can be innocuously poisoning your child is frightening. Finally, it looks like some legal action is taking place on this - at least in California:

"More than 71 retailers agreed Friday to stop selling lead-tainted costume jewelry, marketed chiefly to children and teenagers, after Attorney General links

Bill Lockyer threatened a lawsuit under the state's Proposition 65 consumer safety measure.
The settlement requires retailers and distributors to meet new standards for lead-free and low-lead jewelry as quickly as possible, but no later than 2008. After that date, any product not meeting the new standards cannot be legally sold in California. The 71 defendants also agreed to pay about $1.87 million, including $250,000 for a jewelry-testing fund and $325,000 to educate consumers."

Add your response to CA Jewelry Vendors Say "No" to Lead: Response from: nytfghty (09/18/09 6:58am) Allen Iverson broke out his newest signature shoe, the Reebok Answer XII, during the first game between the Buy Reebok Answer XII Invictus Shoes in November 2008. The Reebok Answer XII Invictus On Sale basketball shoe features a leather upper with internal mock bootie construction that provides maximum comfort. The Nike zoom BB IIreceived its design cues from Japanese-born Reebok designer Nike Zoom BB II Basketball Shoes, who also designed the Answer X. Both Winfield and Kanata have been trading off between the past three Buy Cheap Nike Zoom BB II Men's Basketball shoes to allow for a longer design window and more attention to the development process. It could be argued that Iverson�s series lost its gusto during the VI to IX era. Luckily, for Iverson and his fans, the line has been in good hands the past three years. The mid panel is also generously perforated for greater breathability and the Nike Shox Vc IV Men's Basketball Shoe Black suede toe sets off a nice balance to the simple yet sharp overall look.? The outsole features a sticky rubber wavy herringbone traction pattern and cushioning comes via DMX Ride.
