Hannah Montana Is Hazardous To Your Health!
Filed under: Canadialand > Legal Matters > Disney > Miley Cyrus
This is serious.
Parents, please be careful. Hannah Montana is hazardous to your child's health!
There's been a recent finding of lead in toys being sold in Canada. And, according to the Toronto Star newspaper, who launched an investigation, dangerously high levels of lead are being found in a range of items, such as toys, baby pacifiers, and even Hannah Montana bracelets sold at Wal-Mart!
Although the U.S. government has named lead toys "one of the most serious environmental hazards to children", the same toys are still making their way to Canada.
The Star used two types of high-tech tests to help find out just what the government was letting into the country to be sold. They found lead being sold everywhere, from small to large retailers!
Some of the products contained small amounts of lead, but others "contained levels of lead that are illegal under Canadian law."
One find was a jewelery kit marked "Lead Free" but when they tested the necklace, it had nearly double the legal limit for lead, while the necklace clasp had 150 times the limit!
Upon the discovery, the owner of the small store selling the jewelry threw out the remaining kits, and said, "These are all garbage. This should not have happened. It should not be sold. It's not my problem. I blame our government. Something is coming to this country and it is coming with the permission of the government. They should be taken to task."
Even his suppliers were upset as they had paid a premium for lead-free products from their Chinese manufacturers. The suppliers also threw out the remaining 100 kits they had in inventory.
Tony Clement, the Canadian Health Minister, called all the findings "deeply disturbing" and promised that if re-elected he'd pass a law to better protect consumers as he believes the current law is too week.
Of all the retailers tested, lead was found in about one in every four products purchased, with the majority of the products being made in China.
As for some items, like a Hannah Montana bracelet, it contained 27% lead, which is 445 times the legal limit on lead in jewelery marketed to kids! And the bracelet clasp contained 1,000 times the limit.
Dr. Lennox Huang, the deputy chief of pediatrics at McMaster Children's Hospital, said that "repeatedly sucking on, or swallowing, these items could bring on a range of damaging symptoms, from a drop in IQ, to a prolonged period of vomiting, diarrhea and cramping, to possible death."
As for Wal-Mart and distributor F.A.F. Inc., they've said they pulled the 3,000 Hannah Montana bracelets from their stores across Canada while they investigate the findings. They said the product was screened and found to be safe, but later Wal-Mart said the lead screening was incomplete but would not share their test results.
Disney did not comment.
We always thought Miley was bad for your kids. Now there's proof!
Perez,
you've got to do something on the new film His Highness Hollywood about a guy going undercover in Hollywood as a gay actor. www.superdupa.com
fuck u really hate her dont u lol
i think u hate her more than mucca/mccain/palin combined
I am so SICK of F*cking CHINA. Seriously, they don't give a crap about anyone. They poison their own babies and people with melamine in baby formula and milk products. 40,000 + of their OWN PEOPLE have been sick, and several babies have died because of their greed.
The year before they poisined cats and dogs with melamine in pet food.
The year before that there were all sorts of lead problems with toys and there were massive recalls.
Now this? MORE LEAD in Chinese products? They STILL haven't learned, they STILL don't care?!!
BOYCOTT CHINESE MADE PRODUCTS!!! QUIT BUYING THEIR CHEAP SHIT because they don't CARE about people, all they care about is MONEY. They are greedy, they would rather save money than take care of people's health.
They continue to screw people over, year after year, NEVER learning their lesson. I am boycotting them and I don't care if I have to whittle my kids' toys out of the firewood in my backyard, I will do that before I buy some shit from China.
more miiiiley!
Yeah, cos this is 100% Miley's fault. STFU! Ugh. U are soooooo jealous of Miley. Stop being such a whinny bitch about her. Seriously, give it a rest.
MILEY CYRUS IS DANGEROUS…FIRST!

PEREZ stop being a hater.

If you don't want lead in your toys, stop buying them from China. Nothing will change that country's shady practices.

Re: MISTERMARK – EXACTLY!
Re: Monkey Claw – I THINK YOU'RE FUNNY! AND ONE THING ABOUT CANDIANS, IS WE LOVE TO LAUGH AT OURSELVES!!!!!
Re: LettyB – CANADIANS YOU STUPID CANUCK!
Don't blame the Chinese people as a whole. It's not their fault. It's the fault of corporations who want to keep things cheap and don't care what happens until it happens. Disney didn't have to manufacture it in China, but it did, and they are known to have children sweat shop workers make their jewelery and stuff in Disney Stores before … sadly, that is how a lot of families make their money … through sweat shops. Of course, it could be argued that it would be some subdivision of Disney responsible and not the Head Office, or whatever, but in any event, the companies probably just tell them to "make this and make it cheap." The Canadian government is to blame also, for allowing this stuff to make its way in stores. Of course, both American and Canadian dollar stores are known to have products that are lead based all the the time.
We need to stop getting anything from freaking China. Most everything they send here seems to be tainted lately.

Re: Monkey Claw – THANKS
?????????????????????????
Perez is such a bitter old gay man. Its sad like every time someone is forced to have him on their tv show he tries to bash miley so people would stop liking her.Perez is a pathetic fatass and I doubt you will lose anymore weight cause your still FAT. I doubt miley did any of this. Its chinas fault.
Re: Cowboy Richard – Umm no dumbass the oldest person on disney is 28 as long as you look young it doesnt matter. But miley will never need a real job she has a billion dollar franchise,She could quit now if she wanted.
THIS IS HARPERS FAULT FOR LETTING THAT SHIT COME INTO OUR COUNTRY!! Steven Harper is a horrible Prime Minister, Vote LIBERAL OCT 14TH!!!!
How do i get my own lead tester is seems its the only way to ensure my safety, since our shitty prime minister refuses to protect us, after being fully away that the Chinese use dangerous goods in their toy making.
CANADIANS VOTE LIBERAL
TIME FOR DOUCHY HAROPER TO GO AWAY!!!!!
Re: LettyB – gurl true that! I always see those bracelets when i go to walmart, theyre hanging all over the place! that cheap ass shit trying to poison us! China needs to smarten the fuck up and stop acting like nazis trying to kill people off!!!
For shit's sake Perez, instead of trashing Miley you could be raising awareness on products from China. You totally missed a great opportunity to educate due to your zeal to attack this young woman yet again.
Perez,,, still picking on the little girl you wish you were…..?
Well now I'm not going to Wal-Mart anymore.
I just called my boyfriend to let him know from now on we will do our best to NOT BUY CHINESE MADE PRODUCTS. He agreed completely. It costs our country tons less to make product overseas, so when it is sold in America the profitable margin can be reasonable looking to us but still make them TONS of money. What it also does is it allows product to be made cheaply and without regulation. There is minimal regulation in China because there are so many companies mass producing product and not enough regulators to oversee that everything is made properly. If they refuse to stop production in China what America needs to do is meet up with Chinese officials and figure out a way, whether it be some sort of code or permit that ensures that the facility was checked and approved to be of American standard. And if that means minimalizing the amount of companies that are USA and China approved then so be it. If they agree to cease outsourcing product from irresponsible places like China, then they would be giving a lot of Americans work! Yes, the end product would be more expensive since product and workers' pay is much MUCH higher here than if it were outsourced but then you know you are supporting your own countries economy and well-being.
