Lead poisoning warning for Indian products

[apgmph]

Hello everyone. Just to let you all know about these warnings. Toy jewelry that you can buy in vending machines has been recalled here in the US...all the jewelry was made in India. Here is the link to the article.

Also, here's another article that discusses lead poisoning in adults in the US that were using ayurvedic treatments (all from India)....in case any of you, or any of your family members use these (I know my parents and other family are very fond of Indian herbal treatments for their illnesses and ailments).
