California
Lead in Jewelry Law
http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/LeadInJewelry.cfm
All California jewelry dealers are
currently wrestling with the new lead in jewelry law instituted this
year. If you offer any type of jewelry for retail sale to
anyone in Calfornia, you must be in compliance with the new law even if
you are located out of state. For more information
click the link above. Although many of our findings are plated brass and therefore considered safe, we are currently seeking lead-free component sources and discussing this situation with our suppliers. For our Darice findings, wherever the package itself is labeled as made from brass, we have made that statement in the product description, if the product description does not state the item is brass, then it is not so stated on the packaging. Lead-free components and
components with certificates of compliance will be listed on our website
soon. If you are an out of state dealer we would
suggest contacting your state's office and finding out if your state will
be enacting a similar law soon, we would also suggest purchasing small
batches of findings from trusted sources. If you find out your state
is considering a similar law, please let us know so we can post the
information for other dealers.
Proposition 65 Warning
Some products sold on our website may contain chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
