Consuming food or beverages that have been kept or served in leaded crystal products* or handling products made of leaded crystal will expose you to lead - a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
*this does not apply to: baccarat decanters, flacons, stoppered pitchers, mustard and jam pots.
Many of the jewelry items sold on this website contain certain components which include lead-based parts (like Swarovski crystals and pewter beads).
At Catnap we constantly make efforts to reduce the lead content of our jewelry by purchasing lead-free pewter elements as well as designing our jewelry (especially earrings) where these elements do not come in contact with a person's skin. We try to use stainless steel wires (hoop earrings) and stainles or surgical steel earwires as much as possible.
The Stae of California does not recommend this type of jewelry for use by children and neither do we.
