Vintage American Girl dolls may have components with unsafe levels of Lead — use caution when giving them to young children

XRF readings:
Lead: 13500 ppm · Cadmium: 300 ppm · Arsenic: 0 ppm

Verdict: Very high: avoid food contact

This Vintage American Girl dolls may have components with unsafe levels of Lead — use caution when giving them to young children tested at 13500 ppm lead, heavily contaminated. If any of the lead is on the painted surface, decoration, or worn area, expect bioavailable exposure with food contact, mouthing, or abrasion. Cadmium reads 300 ppm, which is also flagged territory.

What this XRF reading actually means →
XRF measures lead presence on the surface. It does not measure whether that lead can reach a person. That distinction matters for how you should react to this number. Read the full primer.
