Children's Jewelry

Walmart does it again.  Today it was reported that Cadmium, a heavy metal that is a human carcinogin, was found coated on children's jewelry.  "It was a complete surprise to us" a Walmart spokesman was quoted as saying.  "The health and safety of our customers is primo uno"  uh huh.  Give me a break.  I think the bottom line is primo uno for Walmart.  First of all, why would anybody buy jewelry from Walmart?  Why would anyone who hasn't been living in a cave for the past five years not know about the risk one takes when buying jewelry from Walmart of all places?  First it was Lead.  Exposure to Lead can lead to mental development problems in children.  Now that U.S. regulators are on the watchout for Lead contaminated consumer goods from China, what do the Chinese do?  They switch to Cadmium.  The U.S. government is slow to catch up to this ol switcheroo.  So is Walmart.  I would expect the folks at Walmart to be a little more up to date on things than the people in government intelligence - the original oxymoron.   The lesson here folks is that I'm not going to explain to you the ins and outs of common sense.  Shop somewhere else for jewelry.  Sterling Canyon represents the finest Sterling Silver jewelry from Italy.  Anything less would be an - oxymoron.
