THE New York state attorney general said on Friday that his office had opened an investigation into how toys with dangerously high levels of lead ended up for sale at retailers including Target, Kmart and Toys "R" Us.
The attorney general, Eric T Schneiderman, said that some jewellery-making sets from the arts-and-crafts brand Cra-Z-Art contained as much as 10 times the amount of lead permitted by federal child safety limits. His office said that one or more of the products were also sold by other retailers, including Amazon and Walmart, and called on all the retailers to immediately remove them from their shelves.
