Harmful chemicals found in toys and canned food at US discount stores - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/apr/12/harmful-chemicals-toys-discount-stores-us
"An alarming number of products purchased at US dollar stores, including many children’s toys, contain harmful chemicals, according to a report released today.
Researchers tested 226 products purchased at five popular retailers for chemicals, including phthalates and lead, and found that 120, or more than half, had at least one chemical of concern. Among the products that tested positive were colorful baby toys and Disney-themed headphones.
“As a parent, I should be able to buy a product without expecting to poison my child,” said Jose Bravo, national coordinator at the Campaign for Healthier Solutions, a coalition that calls on dollar stores to phase out hazardous chemicals from their products."
