Like My Prices – Baby Safety Information

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a warning concerning Christmas and winter themed metal charm bracelets for our children.  The charm bracelets were sold by discount and dollar-type stores nationwide between 2006 and March 2009 for about $1.

The high levels of cadmium contained in the bracelets are toxic if ingested by young children causing adverse health effects.  Laboratory analysis determined that over 20,000 micrograms of cadmium were released from the snowman alone.

They advise that for our children’s safety we dispose of the bracelets if we find them in our homes.
