Yesterday, I called the dermatologist to set-up an appointment for my 10-year old son to have his moles checked. My red-haired, blue-eyed California boy is a prime candidate for melanoma, especially since his grandfather and I have both survived one.
Yesterday, the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a press release about a new law about to take effect. Mark your calendars, Moms: starting February 1, children’s clothes and toys can’t be sold if they contain lead in more than 600 ppm (parts per million). (Oddly enough, just two months later, the acceptable amount drops to 300 parts per million.)
