New York sues Target, Walmart for sale of lead-contaminated toys

New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood said on Thursday that she had filed a lawsuit against Target Corp, Walmart Inc and toy importer LaRose Industries over the sale of lead-contaminated children’s toys.

Underwood said her office conducted tests in New York City, Long Island, and the Syracuse and Buffalo areas on “Cra-Z-Jewelz” jewelry-making kits that were imported by LaRose and found levels up to 10 times higher than the federal limit.

The kits were supplied by LaRose and sold at Walmart and Target stores.

According to Underwood, the companies violated several state laws in 2015 and 2016 and the lawsuit is seeking civil penalties collectively ranging from $70 to $6,000 for each “Cra-Z-Jewelz” kit the companies sought to sell in New York.

It was back in 2015-2016, so your kids are already stupified from it.


Folks, as a PSA. Don't buy any of that cheap silver pot metal jewelry. Also, if it melts at low temperature, it's not good for you. The vapors alone are enough to fuck up a kid, landing in the lungs, let alone wearing it with leeching of heavy metals through the skin.

1. I hope that NY nails them to the frigging wall on this

and gets a maximum penalty for each and every piece sold. There is no excuse for companies of this size to not have their merchandise tested and safe for their customers.
