Risks of Children’s Jewelry?
Children’s jewelry comes into direct contact with children’s skin and is easily chewed, posing risks of choking from small parts and the release of hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium, and nickel. Amazon has established compliance policies for children’s jewelry across its various marketplaces. Applicable products include:
- Children’s necklaces / bracelets / rings
- Hair accessories products
- Jewelry sets
- DIY jewelry materials
- Other jewelry items for children to wear or use
