Wal-Mart sold cadmium-tainted kids' jewelry

Did you know Wal-Mart was selling 'The Princess And The Frog' pendants tainted with cadmium?

Cadmium is a cancer-causing chemical, and alarmingly high levels of this carcinogen were found in the pendants that were made in China by FAF Inc. Wal-Mart is the only store that sold them.

Now FAF has had to recall the pendants.

Even paint that has cadmium requires warning labels. Yet Wal-Mart was selling cadmium-laced children's jewelry with no warning in sight.

This is the first time EVER that a product has been recalled in the United States over cadmium. Leave it to Wal-Mart to be the first!
