From the New York Post – Toys and toxicity; Beware of pet toys that contain dangerous chemicals:
…researchers at Michigan’s Ecology Center examined more than 400 pet products for hazardous chemicals, including lead, cadmium, mercury, bromine, chlorine (PVC) and arsenic… One-quarter of pet products tested…were found to have detectable levels of lead…There are currently no government standards for hazardous chemicals in pet products.
We will keep you informed if any regulatory changes result due to this study.
