"The Disney jewelry includes a "mood" necklace and bracelet with vinyl cords that contain high levels of lead, the center says."

Hmm. I have been wearing just such a necklace since my Mom bought me and my brother one each back in June of '03 in Adventureland.

I wonder if its the same one

I wonder if I have been being slowly poisoned since then

I wonder if I should try to find out

I wonder who I would contact to do so

All kidding aside, I do wonder if I should be concerned. I've been wearing the damn thing for almost two years non stop. And yes, I did take it off.

Again, referring to my link above, even if the claims turn out to be true, then the lead is still at a level that's more than 30 times below levels ever shows to produce any effects in a lab environment. I wouldn't be too concerned.

This isn't education, it's fear-mongering. What a ridiculous safety net.

Our set of dishes and mugs had the lead warning on them, causing us to research exactly what that meant and after seeing the facts, decided that we would buy them.

Name's joke about sun exposure is just as relevant as these fears.

So we have an actual, measured health threat (flame retardant chemicals in breast milk) that doesn't seem to bother most people, but they're all in a tizzy about the eensy-est, most improbable lead risk that only shows up if you eat several dozen bracelets daily for years?

Oh well, at least my boobs won't catch fire when I breast feed, right?

whoa... flamethrower boobs... I've seen missile launchers in Japanese anime, but I don't recall flamethrowers...

I wasn't too concerned. I mean I read about this yesterday and laughed when my wife asked if I was going to take it off. Then today the tiniest bit of doubt crept in

Now that I'm done feeling foolish...

Thank you for pulling me from the path of near baseless fear.

Today in my SDG&E (gas company) bill I received the following statement:

Quote:

Proposition 65 Warning

Warning
Natural gas and some materials used by San Diego Gas & Electric at its facilities and work areas contain substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm

YAY!
