Warning! Toxic Jewelry At Wal-Mart!

Federal and state watchdogs have issued stern warnings on the use of toxic ingredients in Chinese imports, and Walmart has pulled children’s jewelry items cited in an Associated Press report on cadmium contamination.
Walmart said the AP report was troubling, “and we have a responsibility to take swift action.”
The AP reported Sunday that some Chinese manufacturers have been using cadmium in place of lead in children’s charm bracelets and pendants, sometimes at extraordinarily high levels. Some products bought at Wal-Mart stores were among those found to contain cadmium in testing done for AP.
Who in the heck thinks, "Wow, we may get caught if we use this dangerous lead, so let's use cadmium instead"?
On a side note: There is no cadmium in the best wrinkle cream on the market.
