Is Lead a Danger to Alzheimer’s Patients?

In today’s world, lead in toys and other items has become a major concern.  Recalls have been issued on many products. 

So…consider whether any of the items you use for Alzheimer’s patients…clothing, toys, etc. have the possibility of containing lead and would be of danger to them.  (Often they put items in their mouths as children do.)

The “Apprentice” type contest at the b5 Business Channel (now in its second week) addresses the topic of possible lead in novelty buttons used on chef’s aprons and hats for children that our prototype business owner, Kay, sells.  

Checking out and following this contest will provide some diversion from your caretaking duties.  This week’s challenge may give you an idea of what business owners now are facing when some of their products may come from a country that has had a problem with lead.

Home Biz Notes, where I’m a co-blogger, is the host this week for one of the teams.  Here you’ll find a post addressing the issue, If You Handle “Made in China” Items in Your Home Business. 

You may want to add your comments regarding how you’d handle the situation.  This is something where readers can give their views in the comments.
