Trinkets in Trash After Cadmium Warning - NYTimes.com
The CPSC said its main concern is young children biting, sucking on or even swallowing the trinkets. It is unclear whether there is any substantial danger in skin exposure. Dermody’s 5-year-old daughter is no longer a baby, but she still sucks on the stuff.
