Lead may be found in the paint, metal, and plastic parts of some toys and toy jewelry, particularly those made in other countries, and also antique toys and collectibles. If you have a small child in your household, make sure the child does not have access to toys, jewelry, or other items that may contain lead.
Young children tend to put their hands, toys, or other objects―which may be made of lead or contaminated with lead or lead dust―into their mouths. Although lead is invisible to the naked eye and has no smell, exposure to lead can seriously harm a child’s health. Some toys, especially some imported toys, antique toys, and toy jewelry may contain lead.
Many children get toys and toy jewelry as gifts during the holiday season. Protect children from exposure to lead in metal and plastic toys, especially some imported toys, antique toys, and toy jewelry.
