Cadmium in China kids jewelry


Kid's charms and jewelry are sold at a shop at whole sale market Tuesday Jan. 12, 2010 in Yiwu, China. Interviews with more than a dozen manufacturers and sellers in Yiwu confirm that the toxic metal cadmium is a common ingredient in the earrings, bracelets, charms and other baubles being churned out by local factories and piled high in city's wholesale markets.
