Chinese authorities crack down on cadmium jewelry

4/7/2010 8:59:24 PM

Beijing--Product safety officials in China are currently investigating and warning the nation's jewelry manufacturers against using cadmium, a cancer-causing metal that was found in high levels earlier this year in children's jewelry sold in U.S. stores, the Associated Press has reported.

On Jan. 22, China's top product safety watchdog, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, issued an emergency alert and ordered officials around the country to get Chinese manufacturers to cease using cadmium in their jewelry products.

Since the alert, officials in several Chinese cities have told jewelry manufacturers that they will be shut down if their products are found to contain cadmium, the report says. As of press time, however, it was not known whether officials had found any cadmium products or closed any factories.

In addition to investigating manufacturers in the nation, safety authorities in at least 10 Chinese cities or provinces have posted cadmium warnings to their Web sites.

The crackdown was spurred by an AP investigative report released in January, which revealed that lab tests conducted on 103 pieces of low-priced children's jewelry manufactured in China and sold in the United States found 12 items with dangerously high levels of cadmium.

In the wake of the report, Wal-Mart pulled cadmium-suspect jewelry from its shelves, as did accessories retailer Claire's, teen clothing and accessories retailer Aeropostale and Saks Fifth Avenue outlet stores.
