The product, in the report: Coby electronics earphones, product number CVE22
After purchasing earphones for use with an Mp3 player (Coby CVE22), I noticed a very small warning printed with the instructions indicating that the plastic cables contain lead and the user should wash their hands after handling them. Earphone cords do not just touch hands, they touch the neck and face for extended periods of time-- the use of lead in this product is irresponsible and completely unacceptable, and the warning that is printed on the package is far too small to actually attract the attention of the user. It is now common for young children to listen to music or work on computers using this kind of earphones, and they would be exposed very dangerously. Coby Electronics Corporation are knowingly exposing their customers to close contact with a dangerous, well-known toxin.
