SAFETY FIRST! DON’T GIVE THIS JEWELRY GIFT!


AMUSING??? TODDLER'S COLORFUL BEAD JEWELRY


It’s sparkly, colorful, fun, pretty and to boot, it’s DEADLY.  Children’s jewelry can cause serious bodily injury or death.  Think twice before buying child-size jewelry and then grow-up:  JUST DON’T DO IT.

REPORTS OF CHILDREN’S JEWELRY HAZARDS

  • Toxic dyes that are poisonous
  • Super magnets that critically injure internal organs
  • 
    DANGLING BEAD BRACELET
    
  • Lead that causes permanent brain damage
  • Mercury -  widespread neurological damage
  • Rare metals that cause cancer
  • Choking hazards
  • Other unforeseen design elements that can critically injure or kill a child

KEEP INFORMED ABOUT KIDS' JEWELRY HAZARDS


Here’s a link to information on hazards commonly found in children’s toys and jewelry at NIH.gov Make Sure Toys You Buy Are Safe For Tots.


GIRLS WIRE NECKLACE

Honestly, I don't know where or how a parent can find safe children's baubles.  Buy something else, that's safer.  What about testing the items yourself with home kits? That's preposterous in my opinion!

Don’t buy children’s jewelry, save your child. Then you can save someone else’s child: Send a message to manufacturers that you will not tolerate dangerous children’s products in the marketplace by simply NOT BUYING any of it.
