Description:

Each year, some products that children use are recalled because they contain lead and pose potential health hazards. These recalls are sometimes for products that are intended to be used exclusively by children, such as children’s toys.

Lead is extremely harmful to children younger than 6 years, and no safe blood lead level has been identified. Even low levels of lead in blood can cause developmental delays, difficulty learning, behavioral issues, and a neurological impact. The effects of lead poisoning can be permanent and disabling. Young children are vulnerable to lead exposure from putting a product containing lead in their mouths or from touching a product containing lead before putting their fingers in their mouths. Therefore, it is important to ensure that products containing any amount of lead are removed from a child’s environment.
