Lead Crystal Notice
Consuming foods 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 know to the State of Califonia to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
California Prop 65 Warning: Consuming foods 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.
At Wellington Creations, Inc. we recognize the importance of protecting the health and environment of our customers. However, some products sold by our company such as crystals manufactured by Swarovski contain small amounts of lead. It helps make the bead’s facets sharp and precise, and gives them extra sparkle, depth and shine. Various base metal findings, chains, and charms sold by our company may also contain small amounts of lead or nickel, which are commonly used in the manufacturing process to help metal alloys flow more easily, and to add strength, weight or definition. At Wellington Creations, Inc. we do our very best to conduct business only with established vendors who comply with current Federal and State safety guidelines regarding the use of hazardous chemicals in the manufacturing of the products we sell. We recommend that you wash your hands after handling, and keep all items away from small children and infants. The products we sell are not intended to be ingested in any manner. So please, always remember: Do not eat the Beads!
