Children who touch the mini-blinds or areas around them and put their fingers in their mouths can ingest lead. Always check with the retailer to be sure they don't contain lead or look for the yellow triangle that says Prop 65. To check your mini-blinds for lead presence, lead test swabs can be obtained from local hardware or paint stores or call me for a free test. Older toys and furniture may have been made before 1978 and therefore may contain lead paint. Cribs and playpens can get passed down or reused for many years.
Baby furniture bought at garage sales can be very dangerous if it is old.
If you observe a child repeatedly chewing on a certain toy, crib, playpen, or other object, it may contain lead. Have your child tested, for peace of mind. So look again around the house. Check the mini-blinds, toys, and furniture for lead. Keep your house clean and save the children.
