I want to use crystals from China for baby jewelry and it turns out that they use lead for the crystals - is there a risk of exposure through the skin to these crystals for babies
Sorry to be Captain Obvious here, but isn't there an even more dangerous choking hazard from trying to put jewelry on babies?hai_tep said:I want to use crystals from China for baby jewelry and it turns out that they use lead for the crystals - is there a risk of exposure through the skin to these crystals for babies

It says there only about swallowing or biting, I'm talking about wearing and exposure through the skinBystander said:

There is no reason for it to break
A baby up to six months usually does not reach his wrist to bite or lickDrJohn said:I would play safe and not risk it, even though I searched and found that lead doesn't get absorbed through the skin. But to imagine that a child would not bite or suck something and so ingestion can be ignored is a bit silly.
Nobody is going to do that.hai_tep said:And I would be happy if you would direct me to a source that lead is not dangerous in contact through the skin even for babies

Lead hazard in Chinese crystals refers to the presence of lead in the material used to make the crystals. Lead is a toxic metal that can be harmful to human health, especially if ingested or inhaled.
Lead can get into Chinese crystals during the manufacturing process. It may be used as a coloring agent or as a stabilizer to make the crystals more durable. Lead may also be present in the raw materials used to make the crystals.
Exposure to lead in Chinese crystals can lead to a variety of health problems, including developmental delays in children, kidney damage, and nervous system damage. It can also increase the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease in adults.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to tell if Chinese crystals contain lead just by looking at them. The only way to know for sure is to have them tested by a professional laboratory. However, if the crystals are brightly colored or have a metallic sheen, they may be more likely to contain lead.
The best way to protect yourself from lead hazard in Chinese crystals is to avoid purchasing or using them. If you already have Chinese crystals in your possession, it is important to handle them carefully and avoid any contact with your mouth or food. You can also have them tested for lead to determine if they are safe to handle. If you are unsure about the safety of your crystals, it is best to err on the side of caution and avoid using them altogether.
