Lead-tainted children's jewelry

Do not buy metal jewelry for children (unless you know it's good quality gold, silver, titanium, etc.)

Since 2003, nearly 170 million pieces of children's jewelry have been recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission because the items contain high levels of lead. . . . Collectively, lead-laden jewelry has amounted to the largest product recall in CPSC history. Most of the recalled jewelry involves necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings and other baubles that were purchased in vending machines or in discount and dollar stores –- places where recall notices are not generally seen.
