Miley Cyrus Jewelry Recalled by Wal-Mart
Wal-Mart recently pulled their entire line of Miley Cyrus-brand jewelry because the pieces contain high levels of the toxic metal cadmium. This brand of jewelry is sold exclusively at Wal-Mart. Young children may put the jewelry in their mouths, which can lead to serious health problems.
Cadmium is a known carcinogen and long-term exposure can lead to bone-softening and kidney failure. Studies have shown that it can cause problems with brain development with young children.
Testing from samples collected by AP reporters revealed that almost all of the samples contained at 10 percent or higher of cadmium by weight. Wal-Mart initially received these test results in February but continued selling the jewelry until now.
