Recent reports have shown that children can be exposed to as much as 100 times the recommended limit of cadmium when they either put inexpensive jewlery in their mouth or accidentally swallow it.
The safety authorities are now investigating the presence of cadmium in children's jewlery imported from China. Investigation shows that some Chinese manufacturers have been substituting cadmium for lead in inexpensive charm bracelts and pendants that are sold throughout the United States Canada.
Cadmium, which is a heavy metal, can cause kindey, lung, bone and liver disease. All exposures to cadmium should be avoided. It is a concern becuase it accumulates in the body over our lifetime and especially dangerous in the younger years because children's digestive system are more efficient at absorbing it.
