: Personal Injury and Social Security Disability BlogFew Librarians Complying With CPSC Lead Recommendations
By Robert Kraft
The AP reports that the Consumer Product Safety Commission is "urging the nation's libraries to take children's books printed before 1986 off their shelves while the federal agency investigates whether the ink contains unsafe levels of lead. Few, if any, libraries are complying, and many librarians are ridiculing the recommendation as alarmist. Even the nation's premier medical sleuths, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, say any danger from lead in children's books is slight."
