Dangers for kids
Paint and water are still the top sources of lead poisoning in kids, partly because it is so easy for toddlers to ingest those substances. For that reason, something large, like backpack, is probably not as hazardous as a tiny charm. But all lead-based items are potentially dangerous to kids. Here are the categories of products that have caused concern or promoted recalls because of lead problems. So be cautious when buying and do your best to keep them out of your children’s mouth. Of course, many products in these categories are perfectly safe, because the manufacturers are not using lead.
