Wal-Mart still selling toxic Miley Cyrus jewelry

It just doesn't get any better than this, unless maybe they're selling it to pit bulls!

Jewelry from two entire lines being sold exclusively at Walmart stores nationwide, including bracelets and necklaces branded by Miley Cyrus, contains high levels of the toxic metal cadmium, according to an Associated Press investigation.

Testing of 61 samples purchased by AP reporters across the country from a Cyrus line and from a series of make-it-yourself metal bracelet charms indicated that 59 of the pieces contained at least 5 percent cadmium by weight, with 53 of those measuring 10 percent or higher.

And the world's largest retailer knows the items are tainted.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. received test results in February showing cadmium in these jewelry lines, but has continued selling the items.

1. "Cadmium has no constructive purpose in the human body.

Cadmium and its compounds are extremely toxic even in low concentrations, and will bioaccumulate in organisms and ecosystems."

2. Is the toxic part the cadmium itself, or simply that it's associated with Miley Cyrus?

My money would be on the latter.

7. Wal Mart and Miley Cyrus. Two great things that go together.

8. Just like that tainted dog food a few years back

They slapped a sticker on the bags showing a different batch number and kept selling it.

9. Update: Now that light has been shown on this, Walmart backs down

and will stop selling these.

You think they would have pulled it if it hadn't been exposed?
