Question from Jenny
Hi Debra,
We recently found some barrettes on line for my daughter. After they came in the mail I found out they were made in Malaysia. They are simple clip barrettes that have white paint on them. Is there any way I can ensure they are safe?
Thank you,
Jenny
Debra’s Answer
I would say they are probably fine. There may be heavy metals in the paint, but there’s no way for you to know.
If you are concerned, don’t use them.
If you want to use them, know that they are a very tiny exposure in comparison to other things you should be concerned about, like fluoride in tap water and pesticides in food, and formaldehyde in bedsheets.
Hi,
I bought these at my local store,

They are made in France and don’t stink at all and my family and I all have MCS.
We have these too and they’re pretty fancy for a girl,

Good luck and blessings,
