That is why Health Canada is introducing new limits for toxic metals in children's products to protect children from exposure to lead and cadmium through updates to the Children's Jewellery Regulations and through new Consumer Products Containing Lead Regulations.

Key Points: 
  • That is why Health Canada is introducing new limits for toxic metals in children's products to protect children from exposure to lead and cadmium through updates to the Children's Jewellery Regulations and through new Consumer Products Containing Lead Regulations.
  • Exposure to lead or cadmium may pose a significant health risk to children who chew, suck or swallow items made with these metals.
  • Current science indicates that ingestion of even very low levels of lead or cadmium may be harmful to children.
  • To protect children from exposure to lead and cadmium in children's jewellery, Health Canada is:
    reducing the level of total allowable lead from 600 mg/kg to 90 mg/kg in children's jewellery; and
    introducing a strict 130 mg/kg total cadmium limit in these products.
