Wickert Beasley of Intrinsic Precision Body Jewelry in San Francisco said that as long as consumers buy made-in-America body-piercing accessories, they should be safe. “A lot of the industry has been aware of it for years (and not sold it), but there may be some outliers.” “Body-piercing jewelry may have lead in it that’s why we’re here,” Berriesford said. Given those numbers, he is assuming that adult jewelry is being sold with lead in it, too. 1 found 18 percent to 20 percent was contaminated with high levels of lead. And in 2004, 150 million pieces of toy jewelry sold in vending machines were recalled because of lead.īerriesford said that state testing of children’s jewelry since Sept. While regulators such as Michael Berriesford, the supervising investigator with the state Department of Toxic Substances Control, said he knows of no adults who have been poisoned, the Environmental Protection Agency reports some tragedies in children.Ī 4-year-old Minnesota child died in 2006 after swallowing a lead-laden jewelry charm, which prompted a recall of 300,000 charm bracelets. Children’s jewelry must have less than 1.5 percent lead, because those 6 and younger are more susceptible to lead poisoning. The new law is an expansion of another law that went into effect Sept. The state is going after jewelry manufacturers, distributors and retailers. “They’re going to be a little nervous.”Īt Zebra, state employees showed off one of four new $40,000 X-ray machines that can detect lead in jewelry, and staff members at the shop gave a piercing demonstration. “Once this story breaks, I’m sure some of the piercing studios are going to reconsider the good deals they have gotten on jewelry from oversees,” Naslund said. Kerrie Naslund, 34, a senior piercer at Zebra for 16 years, said she is confident that her shop is lead-free because it gets most of its jewelry from American manufacturers who provide certificates showing the metals in piercing jewelry they buy.Ĭalifornia piercing shops that buy from oversees, where there is little or no lead regulation, might be in trouble, though. If piercing shops violate the new law, they can face fines of up to $2,500 a day for each piece in their possession. To get the point across, officials from the department were in Berkeley on Thursday at Zebra Tattoo & Body Piercing Shop to spread the word that jewelry must have less than 10 percent lead as of March 1 and less than 6 percent by Aug. “Body piercings may be particularly vulnerable to poisoning since lead can enter the bloodstream through the pierced areas,” Maureen Gorsen, director of California’s Department of Toxic Substances Control, said in a written statement. That is the message from the California Department of Toxic Substance Control, which is enforcing a new state law that regulates lead in jewelry, especially piercing jewelry. In rare cases, seizures, organ failure and even death can occur. + # adj.Hipsters beware: That naval piercing or nose ring may be hazardous to your health. llvm/test/Programs/MultiSource/Benchmarks/MallocBench/gawk/INPUT/adj.awk Mon Feb 23 11:06:00 2004 Index: llvm/test/Programs/MultiSource/Benchmarks/MallocBench/gawk/INPUT/adj.awkĭiff -c /dev/null llvm/test/Programs/MultiSource/Benchmarks/MallocBench/gawk/INPUT/adj.awk:1.1 + gawk -f INPUT/adj.awk type=l linelen=70 indent=5 INPUT/words-large.awk
