Sec. 5. Legislative findings. The General Assembly finds: (1) Children's jewelry that could expose children to |
| high levels of accessible cadmium could cause potential harm to children's health and the environment.
|
|
(2) Because children's bodies are growing and
|
| developing, they are especially vulnerable to the effects of toxic chemicals.
|
|
(3) To protect children's health, it is important to
|
| limit children's exposure to accessible cadmium in children's jewelry and to determine whether further action is required.
