The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning consumers that they should immediately stop using children’s metal charm bracelets.  Hazard: The bracelets contain high levels of cadmium. Laboratory analysis determined that following a 24-hour incubation in simulated stomach acid, over 20,000 micrograms of cadmium were released from the snowman alone. Cadmium can be toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. Incidents/Injuries: None reported.
