Children under six are at a higher risk of lead exposure because their bodies are still in development, according to the statement released by public health officials. They are also urging parents and caregivers of young children to stop using those products and consider testing their children for lead exposures.

Testing is crucial when having been exposed to lead due to the fact that lead poisoning may not have any visible signs or symptoms.
Lead is toxic to the body even in the smallest quantity, and it can have lasting impacts on cognition, behavior, reproduction, and cardiovascular health.
