“Die? Cast Metal” or “Roll Back to China”

Wal-Mart stores are pulling children’s jewelry items from China manufactured with cadmium, a toxic metal. Unfortunately, even this dangerous situation will not cause a drop in the amount of jewelry worn by kids growing up along the Jersey Shore.

Wal-Mart’s quick response to pull contaminated items was to prevent any children from dying from toxic cadmium poisoning. However, there is still as risk that any adults buying jewelry at a Wal-Mart could die of embarrassment.

Despite attempts to protect children from hazardous substances, American kids are still exposed to McDonald’s and Burger King.
