Cyrus’ Jewellery Line Pulled From U.s. Store

MILEY CYRUS’ jewellery line has been pulled from shelves at U.S. superstore Walmart after a report revealed the accessories contained high levels of a toxic metal.
The Hannah Montana star’s exclusive range for the store has proved popular with kids, but a test performed for the Associated Press reveals several items from the line have an unsafe level of cadmium, which can be dangerous if ingested.
Although the jewellery pieces are safe to wear, the report notes that if they are “sucked, bitten or swallowed” the cadmium could prove toxic.
And now bosses at Walmart have decided to pull the line, which includes bracelets and necklaces, insisting they will not sell the jewellery “while we investigate its compliance with our children’s jewelry standard”.
