Before the Center for Environmental Health took action, lead in costume jewelry was an industry-wide problem. In an agreement with CEH and the California Attorney General's Office on January 27, 2006 the following retailers and suppliers noted below agreed to phase out lead in their costume jewelry. This includes many familiar brand names (listed below), which are also covered by the agreement. The process to eliminate lead threats from jewelry has already begun, and our continuing investigation leads us to believe that many companies have already eliminated the lead.

The agreement requires that no company can ship lead-tainted children's jewelry to a retail store after February 1, 2007, and cannot ship any lead-tainted jewelry after August 1, 2007. It also requires that retailers must stop selling lead- tainted children's jewelry by September 1, 2007, and must stop selling all non-compliant jewelry by March 1, 2008.

If you or your children have suspect jewlery from any of these stores or supplies, we recommend you test the products for lead.
