Toys & Consumer Goods Screening with Handheld
XRF
Toys
recalled from store shelves for lead in paint.
The Sierra Club threatens lawsuits against
importers and distributors of Chinese products
with potentially high lead levels. Each week
seems to bring a new report of more problems
with toys, costume jewelry, and other
child-accessible goods. Ultimately, contract
manufacturers, importers, distributors,
retailers and brand owners all face potential
liability when they fail to comply with laws
which restrict lead in their products.
Handheld NITON® x-ray fluorescence (XRF)
analyzers provide quick and easy screening of
toys and other consumer goods for lead, cadmium,
mercury and other toxic metals. Importers, brand
owners and retailers can implement a
standardized inspection protocol for incoming
shipments to verify compliance, while
simultaneously requiring supply chain
documentation based on empirical testing. Due
diligence with NITON XRF analyzers has already
become the norm in the
metal alloy and
electronics markets. These proven and
accepted tools are now increasingly being used
with consumer goods, throughout the supply
chain.
