Lead in Jewelry
Background and updates about California's Lead-Containing Jewelry Law, which limits "the amount of lead in jewelry, including children's jewelry and body piercing jewelry. High amounts of lead, a persistent and toxic metal, have been found in jewelry, especially inexpensive children's jewelry." Includes history of the law, news (such as revisions to the law that took effect January 2009), a FAQ, fact sheets in several languages, and more. From the California Department of Toxic Substances Control.
