A new report from Center for Environmental Health says two retail chains are selling handbags, shoes, and other fashion accessories with toxic levels of lead. We spoke with the group that issued the report about their warning for consumers.
People usually don't think of shopping as a health hazard, but a report called "Toxic Fashion" released this week by CEH, the Center for Environmental Health, said their investigators found high levels of lead in fashion accessories sold by two retail chains, Ross and Burlington.
By law, California employers also have an obligation to protect workers, according to Robert Moutrie, an attorney and policy advisor with the California Chamber of Commerce."Under Cal/OSHA's regulations specifically, they have an obligation to be aware of when lead exposures are happening and then to conduct testing of their employees and their environments," Moutrie said.Moutrie says Cal-OSHA just passed new, stricter lead regulations last month.
