"As part of ongoing efforts to reduce lead exposures and prevent lead poisoning, the Hazardous Waste Management Program in King County has tested thousands of everyday consumer products for lead. Now, the Haz Waste Research Team has taken their years’ of collected data and created a searchable dashboard for community members to explore the findings. The tool allows residents to look up specific products and brands, learn which items to avoid, and make safer choices for their homes. The dashboard includes nearly 700 products and will grow as the Program continues testing items. Tested products include cookware/pressure cookers, cosmetics, dishware/utensils, toys, jewelry, candy, food, incense, seasoning, and dietary supplements/medications."
