Earlier, Ms. Cooper talked to us about products with a higher lead content than approved under the CEPA. Theoretically, the amount of lead in a product should not exceed 90 parts per million. In reality, this threshold is exceeded by several million parts, a none too insignificant amount. Furthermore, lead can be found in products designed for children.
How do manufacturers manage to get around the rules which, in principle, were designed to prevent problems like this from occurring?
