Miley Cyrus Causing Harm?



Miley Cyrus's line of jewelry is being pulled off the shelves due to high toxins made in the metal. This high level of cadmium can be deadly if ingested. The Associated Press of Walmart states "that the items are not known to be dangerous if simply worn -- but experts fear that the cadmium can enter a person's system if the jewelry is sucked, bitten or swallowed. They also said that they were "aware the jewelry contained cadmium back in February, but continued selling the products anyway -- until now."
Why would distributors choose to put this product on shelves when they know that they can be sued for any medical reasons. Miley Cyrus is a popular role model to young children so that is the age group that is buying the jewelry. Also this age group is known for putting things such as necklaces in their mouth. That was a lawsuit waiting to happen.
