Walmart Knew About Cadmium In Its Jewelry
The Center for Environmental Health has filed legal notice against Wal-Mart for selling cadmium-tainted jewelry. Independent testing commissioned by the nonprofit found that a pendant on a Miley Cyrus/Max Azria necklace contained high levels of cadmium, in violation of California consumer protection law.
Amazingly, Wal-Mart knew for months about the toxic jewelry, which the LA Times noted for its appeal to pre-teen girls, but failed to act until news reports exposed the high cadmium levels.
In other words, Wal-Mart doesn’t care about your kids’ health, until their reckless attitude hurts their public image.
