A new study by the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) found that cadmium, a toxic metal linked to cancer, kidney damage and reproductive problems after prolonged exposure, was found in jewelry sold at retail stores like Ross, Nordstrom Rack, and Papaya.
“Cadmium is an incredibly toxic metal. Like lead, it causes birth defects. It makes it harder to maintain a pregnancy and it also makes it harder to get pregnant in the first place,” said the CEO of CEH Michael Green.
