At present, Environmental Dept., California, the USA has inspected necklaces, bracelets, and other jewelries for adults, discovering that the content of heavy cadmium in the commodities exceeds the standard; even in some commodities, the poisonous substance content is 75 percentage of its own weight, which has been a serious threat to consumers’ health.
This survey says these sellers include three major jewelry retailers; the famous Saks Fifth Avenue is among them.
Based on the inspection results, the US Environmental and Health Research Center state that they will put the ban on cadmium content in jewelries and gems to the dealers.
This institution states that the inspection of cadmium contents in jewelries and gems on the market has been carried out, and each product has been labeled with cadmium content.
Manager from “Catherine”, National Chain Store states that they will test all cadmium content in the jewelries and gems on the sale. For those commodities exceeding the standard, they will label “caution mammary cancer” on them; and for those commodities which have greatly exceeded the standard, they will withdraw them from the sales counter.
