Brown has reported his findings to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which could order recalls of the lead-laced items.
According to California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, any children's product that contains more than 300 parts per million (ppm) of lead is considered a hazardous substance and therefore illegal to sell in the state. The following products were found to contain excessive levels of lead:
- Kids Poncho sold by Walmart, 677 ppm
- MSY Faded Glory Rebecca Shoes sold by Walmart, 1331 ppm
- Reversible Croco Belt sold by Target, 4270 ppm
- Dora the Explorer Activity Tote sold by TJ Maxx, 2348 ppm
- Paula Fuschia Open-Toed Shoes sold by Sears, 3957 ppm
- Disney Fairies Silvermist's Water Lily Necklace sold by Walgreens, 22000 ppm
- Barbie Bike Flair Accessory Kit sold by Tuesday Morning, 6196 ppm
