Indiana State Health Officials Warn Of Lead In Products

Indiana state health officials warn Hoosiers that elevated lead levels have been found in products sold at Target stores. The product causing concern is Wink Bath and Body"s shimmer lip gloss in the following flavors: mango colada, frosted pineapple and strawberry sangria. As of June 25, Target has removed all of the products from their shelves. "People that have previously purchased this product should be aware that the cap on this product contains lead that exceeds allowable limits," said Dave McCormick, director of the lead program at the Indiana State Department of Health. "Lead poisoning is the number one preventable environmental disease in the U.S., and it can be especially dangerous for children." Health officials warn that elevated levels of lead in blood are especially dangerous for children younger than six years of age, whose developing brains are particularly vulnerable. In addition to injury to the brain and the nervous system, lead can negatively affect learning and behavior. "Children who may have been in contact with these recalled products should immediately receive a blood test to determine whether they were exposed to a lead hazard," warned McCormick.
