In the first of two reports on toy safety, NewsHour economics correspondent Paul Solman looks at how the recent controversy over lead levels in toys is affecting consumer shopping this holiday season.
(With News Hour video)
PAUL SOLMAN: Levels ranging from 7,000 to 10,000 parts per million, as much as 1 percent lead, more than 15 times the paint standard. But according to Nord's agency -- the one mandated to protect us -- it's perfectly permissible.
DON MAYS: It's not considered paint, so the regulations actually don't cover it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NANCY NORD, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission: We have on the books a ban on lead paint. Anything above 600 parts per million is in violation of our standard, and we will recall it.
PAUL SOLMAN: But the American Academy of Pediatrics is now urging Congress to lower the standard from 600 parts per million to 40. Why? Well, new research shows that even very low levels of lead are more dangerous than we ever thought, levels that show up in the blood and stay in the system for decades.
