## Resource

A groundbreaking binational study reveals nearly 80% of toys across the U.S.-Mexico border contain toxic metals like lead, cadmium, and arsenic—posing serious health risks to children whose developing bodies are more vulnerable. Nickel was found in over a third, while 12% exceeded safety limits set by both countries. Researchers stress the urgent need for harmonized standards and better labeling, especially as kids in El Paso-Ciudad Juárez rely on these shared markets for playthings.
