State warns of lead in toys given by libraries

From The Star Press:

“State health officials today issued a consumer health alert for bendable animal toys that were given away at libraries around the state, including the Muncie Public Library, during summer reading programs in June and July.

The toys, a bendable dog and cat, were found to have 0.4 and 0.24 percent of lead. The maximum safety limit is currently 0.06 percent. They are roughly 3.75 inches in length, and are similar in shape to a lollipop.”
