Description The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) will conduct a study in 2025 to evaluate the presence of lead and cadmium in children’s jewelry. This study will be used to assess manufacturer compliance with the Children’s Safe Products Act (CSPA). Ecology will purchase approximately 50 inexpensive children’s jewelry products, including necklaces, bracelets, and hair accessories marketed or sold for use by children 12 years of age or younger. Up to 60 product component samples will be tested for lead and cadmium. Products will be purchased from local area retail stores that sell products to people in Washington State.
