The Huron County Health Unit is
alerting people to the hazard posed
by PVC mini blinds. Lead level in
these blinds may cause neuro-
logical damage in young children.
The following warning from
Health Canada outlines the problem
and recommends consumers to take
appropriate action.
Ottawa - Health Canada is
advising consumers that inexpen-
sive 1" (2.54 cm.) horizontal PVC
(plastic) mini blinds made in
China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Hong
Kong and Mexico contain lead.
Lead exposure from these mini
blinds may result in a daily intake
of lead by children which is greater
than the World Health Organiza-
tion's tolerable level.
Since exposure to lead can result
in neurological damage in young
children, Health Canada recom-
mends that consumers with
children aged six years or less
remove these PVC mini blinds
from their homes. PVC mini blinds
containing lead should also be
removed from other locations
frequented by these children (e.g.
child care facilities, schools).
Consumers should contact their
local municipal governments for
appropriate methods of disposal.
Retailers should be contacted
directly if a consumer wishes to
ding anniversary of George and
Isabel Pearson and the 140th cele-
brations of Grey Twp.
Jean is a sister of Isabel and
resided here until 1958 before mov-
ing to B.C.

return the product to the point of
purchase. Manufacturers and
retailers of mini blinds have
indicated that 'lead free' blinds will
be on the Canadian market shortly.
The Health Canada investigation
is continuing. Health Canada
officials will monitor the
introduction of 'lead free' mini
blinds.

Boneschansker family) captured
the A title while the 14th Fanatics

The weather really helped make
the event a success, says Knight.

would have been told we were
crazy."
