California AG Issues Consumer Alert for ‘Dangerous' Lead Levels in Candy
“When Californians go into a supermarket to purchase their favorite treat, they shouldn't have to worry about whether that product might harm them or their children,'' said Bonta."The fact is: Lead is a known public health hazard, and exposure to this neurotoxin can have lasting health consequences.
Testing by my office revealed dangerous levels of lead in dried plum fruits and candies being sold at retail outlets across our state. We're directing retailers to remove these products from their shelves, but if you already have them in your pantry, please check to see if they match the products we've identified -- and do not consume them if so."
