it’s not just lead that’s concerning. it’s all the other sh*t that they are ’sneaking’ into products that go un(der)regulated. it’s the food, the toothpaste, the baby bibs, the radioactive jewelry…
…the issue isn’t whether it’s safe or not for a kid to eat 71 tubes of lipstick at once, but rather the chronic exposure (to the poisonous crap) as mom kisses her children everyday, multiple times a day, with toxic lipstick. or the pregnant woman whose fetus may not develop normally with far less than 71 tubes of lipstick worth of lead.
the other unregulated ingredients likely pose a more significant risk…lead is just the tip of the iceberg. if all we had to worry about was lead, maybe we wouldn’t have much to worry about.

First, kids dying from lead in toys. Now, they find high levels of lead in lipsticks. What’s next – lead in food? Are women going to start dying now too from using lipstick too much?
Freaky!
There’s a detailed report about it at http://www.myproductalert.com/lead-in-lipsticks.html
