HealthyStuff.org has conducted extensive testing on a wide range of apparel and accessories. Based on our testing, jewelry, handbags and other types of accessories are the most likely to contain elevated levels of hazardous chemicals when compared with all other product categories tested. HealthyStuff.org and our product testing partner, the Center for Environmental Health - California tested over 100 women's plastic handbags and detected lead in over 75% of the bags analyzed. 64% of the plastic bags contained lead over 300 ppm -- the CPSC limit for lead in children's products. Over half of the plastic handbags contain >1,000 ppm lead.
