Wal-Mart Pulls Toxic Miley Cyrus Jewelry

Miley Cyrus toxic

The entire line of Miley Cyrus jewelry has been pulled from the shelves at Walmart following a report that the jewelry contains high levels of cadmium -a toxic metal.

A test performed for the Associated Press shows that several items of the accessories have an unsafe level of cadmium, which can be dangerous if ingested.

The AP notes that the items are not known to be dangerous if simply worn, but if the jewelry is "sucked, bitten or swallowed" it can be very dangerous.

Walmart has released a statement, saying the jewelry was "designed for and marketed to older audiences" and was "not intended for children." The company insists they will not sell the jewelry "while we investigate its compliance with our children's jewelry standard."
