Illinois Compiled Statutes 430 ILCS 140 Cadmium-safe Kids Act. Section 5

    (430 ILCS 140/5)

    Sec. 5. Legislative findings. The General Assembly finds:

        (1) Children's jewelry that could expose children to

    high levels of accessible cadmium could cause potential harm to children's health and the environment.

        (2) Because children's bodies are growing and

    developing, they are especially vulnerable to the effects of toxic chemicals.

        (3) To protect children's health, it is important to

    limit children's exposure to accessible cadmium in children's jewelry and to determine whether further action is required.
