Metal contamination in analysed toys

The study found that of the 569 products tested, 104 (18%) exceeded the limit for lead, 18 (3%) exceeded the limit for mercury, 45 (8%) exceeded the limit for arsenic and 75 products (13%) exceeded the limit for antimony. Seventy-five (13%) of these products contained two or more toxic metals, thereby increasing the likelihood of harmful impacts.
