Miley Cyrus' Toxic Jewelry





Wal-Mart stores have removed Miley Cryus' jewelry line after finding out that they contain a toxic I'm slipping under metal that may cause cancer if ingested.

Here's the statement they released:

“In the absence of any U.S. cadmium standard, we voluntarily adopted the British Standard Safety of Toys — Part 3, the only standard in the world for cadmium in children’s products, and applied it to children’s jewelry. Wal-Mart was an industry leader in adopting this standard and applying it to children’s jewelry and several other product lines. We shared this new Wal-Mart standard for children’s jewelry with our suppliers, and mandate that they adhere to it and they must conduct tests to verify that they do. Children’s jewelry products manufactured after April 9, 2010 must meet this Wal-Mart standard to be sold in our stores. We also reviewed children’s jewelry manufactured before April 9 and found that most conformed to our new Wal-Mart standard. We voluntarily withdrew the few products that did not. As we have always done, if customers raise new concerns, we evaluate the products involved and take appropriate action.

The Miley Cyrus and Max Azria line is not for children. It is sold in our ladies apparel section and it was designed for and marketed to older audiences. However, it is possible that a few younger consumers may seek it out in stores. Miley Cyrus and Max Azria jewelry is not intended for children, but as part of our unwavering commitment to protecting the safety of children, we are removing all of the jewelry from sale while we investigate its compliance with our children’s jewelry standard.

Miley Cyrus, Max Azria and Wal-Mart stand together in the belief that the safety of our customers is absolutely a top priority.”

Miley - I know you probably just endorse anything without a thought, but you might want to look into things a little deeper before putting your name on them. Now I know you're just a beauty high school dropout with no desire to go to college, but you should have your agents and lawyers read those big words to you and explain what they mean.
