Daily Downers: Kids with toxins
Bad news is funnier read all in a row --
>> 1,268 toys get tested, and 35% are found to have toxic stuff. To help you find toys sans lead, here's my guide to eco gifts for kids.
>> Jewelry's toxic now too. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control told 11 retail outlets to remove more than a dozen types of jewelry for children. The trinkets all had lead levels beyond the state limit.
>> Smog: Still not good for you, or don't buy a house near a freeway, especially if you have kids.
