Don't buy this Halloween costume for kids

You gotta be very careful the Halloween costume you buy for your kids this Halloween 2012. If you really love your child
Today reports that around 1,400 of these pirate costumes have been seized after high levels of lead were discovered in the buttons and the trim.

The costumes were diverted to a warehouse for testing in mid-September and the lead levels were confirmed about a week ago, Milne said.
The shipment was chosen for inspection because of a past violation, Milne said, without identifying the violator.

“We target shipments for a variety of reasons,” he said. “It could be the history of the shipper, the manufacturer, it could be the history of the importer or it could be the commodity itself that we’ve had prior violations with.”
The costumes were tested for lead by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Problems could have occurred if children had put the buttons or trim in their mouths, exposing them to the toxic substance.

Buttons are of principal concern to lead inspectors, as young children tend to like chewing on small objects. Lead poisoning in kids can cause vomiting, kidney failure and learning disabilities.
